Dear everyone,
I am new to the straight razor business. Got a "new" little puppy (as long as you can call new a 60-70 years old razor) but upon inspection I noticed a 2mm x 1mm chip at the heel. Maybe it even started rusting. Do you have any suggestion what I should do whit this? Not much equipment I have home but I have a Naniwa rust eraser although for this jobbie maybe something else needed.
As this is a fresh buy from eBay and I have not used the razor yet + the razor was advertised as new (never used, so that also means I paid good money for this) I am thinking of sending it back although I really don't want that .
I found it impossible that this damage happened during shipping. I checked the eBay images and this chip is not visible there however the seller "relisted" the item (so that means he has more of the same razor) and he used the exact same picture as on my ad meaning the original ad did not have the pictures from the actual item either unfortunately.
