Hey guys. So I've been shaving with a safety razor for about 3 years with the same merkur handle... And boy is it corroded! And I'm pretty sure therest not a lot I can do about all the bacteria that is no doubt growing in all that crangy textured corrosion.
I've thought about taking some steel wool to it but I don't have a lot of faith in the chrome plating ... So I think I should just get a stainless steel razor (or another metal of you guys recommend).
So I have three questions:
1. What do you guys do about the corrosion on your chrome plated razors?
2. Would a stainless steel razor solve my problem, or would I just be trading corrosion for rust?
3. Where do you get a solid steel razor?
I've thought about getting a "Timeless" razor. Wolfmans seem hard to come by and as far as I can rell timeless is more or less the only show in town.
