Hey there,
I purchased first straight from Fendrihan which is a Wapi. They informed on the website that it may have some cosmetic blemishes due to it is old new stock. I read around to check reviews and from what i read they are good razors and work well. It cost me 80 for the wapi, thought pretty good deal because it got new scales and it was pre-honed to be shave ready.
Now here is the problem, when i got it there were minor blemishes, but all in all it was mirror finish all over the razor. After using it for a like month or so, there seem to be more blemished coming. I make sure one i am done to dry the razor and both inside and outside the scales. After i strop i use a micro cloth, the ones used on glasses, to clean and put it away in my case until tomorrow. Now some of the blemishes seem to be a little orangey looking. I am like "WHAT, RUST?", How can this be happening if make sure to keep it clean and dry? I read if you use it everyday there is reason to put razor oil on it.
So, I am wondering if other people have had this problem with straights before.
Any advice would help.
