Best just send it to me for disposal, those Heljistrands are toxic, or something....
looks like a tree "claw'd its mark on that blade...
I've had a couple of razors like that. You can remove the rust, but I bet the pattern of the rust remains on the blade face like an etching.

Is there any harm in leaving it on?
I heared that you can get tetnis from rust?
The rust will just get worse, deeper, and spread if you leave it. Faster, the more humidity there is.
Shaving with a rusty razor can cause serious infections.

Thanks everyone!
Wonder if that's concentrated from being put away with pooled up water? Just a thought.
I wanted to say it was termites that made it, but I don't believe they are specially fond of Swedish steel.
No way, they only go after English steel.

I am ok with toxic Heljestrands...I live on the edge.
Probably. Other than the rust the blade looks to be in great condition.
The photos were poor so I wasn't sure if the markings were rust or grease. BTW the blade was described as "some type of etching".
That type of rust is a pain to remove. And as Greybeard said marks will remain. Those blades are so thin you can't sand too much or the blade will become metal paper.
