I have a Merkur Slant and 3 vintage Gillettes. I put feather blades in all of them and have been alternating shaves with each of them, occasionally going back to my cartridge, to let my face rest. I am still very much a newbie and today was the first that I did not draw blood. Yea!!!
I noticed today that in all 4 razors, there was rust. After shaving, I rinse well and set the razors on edge(narrow) to dry. I'm concerned because the rust is transferring on to the razors themselves.....I thought they were plated brass?
Should I be removing the bladed after each shave? Kind of a bummer if I do, but I don't know what else to do. The blades were in the razors about 20 days, since I was rotating. Can I change the same blade to a different razor until it's dull? I'm using Feather Hi-Stainless and I'm guessing they aren't stainless.
I should also say that I don't alway shave every day.
Thanks....
