I know that with cell rot it is the celluloid scales rotting which puts off a gas that is harmful to the steel, but the question that i have is...
If you found an old roll of razors that had 2+ double ducks in full scale rot in it, would that roll be safe to use razors in after an appropriate airing out? would it have to be washed some how? or are there any special considerations to keep in mind?
I didn't purchase any of the rotten or broken razors, but I haggled the roll and 4 razors, and once i got home it has a weird pattern of dark spots in it that might be from the material. I can't say if it's from gas leaking through, or if it's because the material held onto the gas.
PS. i know pictures are helpful, and i'll get some once i'm home. wife and i are leaving for a parade with the family so once i get back I'll get pictures
