What’s your verdict on the dark oxidation that often forms on high carbon steel, straight razor, blades? I’m currently on the fence.
Should it be welcomed as a natural protection against active red rust? A sign of a razor that is ageing gracefully?
Is it an unsightly eyesore that needs to be polished out at the very first sign? A canary warning of improper cleaning and storage?
Or is it simply a non-issue fact of life with certain steel alloys? Just roll with it like you do with greys and wrinkles?
What say the experts?
