I debated posting this before I heard back from the vendor I bought it from, but for the sake of fellow PILS owners I felt I should share my experience so it does not happen to your $240 razor.
I look after all of my razors with great care, hand drying them after use, then air drying them for another 48 hours as I can only shave every other day. If I switch razors it is only then that one will go into a cabinet. However, despite what I think is sometimes obsessive-compulsive care, today as I grabbed the cap of the PILS to screw it on I was shocked to find rust on the underside. And not just one spot, but many. Needless to say I am dumbfounded.
I have only had this razor about 8 or 9 months and it has not even been my primary razor. (That would be the Cobra Classic.) The fact that it has deteriorated seemingly so fast, with relatively little use, has cast this razor in a new light.
Now I start scouring the forums to figure out how to get it off as I have never had a razor rust...until the PILS.
