Caring for a bare brass Gillette NEW

[Strayhair]

I like my Regent NEW LC. It actually lives up to the hype. It cuts through my whiskers like a hot knife through butter. However, I just noticed more tarnishing on the inside of the top cap and baseplate than I remember when I got it in the mail. I've had it assembled without a blade for a few days and only washed the top of the head with a little dawn and water. I guess some of it seeped into the gap and caused the tarnishing. It's all stained a mostly brown color. Is polish the way to get rid of it? Can I expect this to come back every time it gets wet?

Replating the brass will keep the corrosion away on the long run.
Here is one freshly replated in Gold. Not even polished yet after replating:

The tarnish won't do any harm, and some like the well aged look it gives. Otherwise, it's a case of constantly polishing your razor or having it replated.
