I've just received a Ball End with a Blue blade ready loaded - so kind of thhe seller. The blade has rusted and stained the plating - just tiny patches left after a toothbrush scrub. I think the rust may have penetrated the plating along one edge of the cap and one place on the face of the head. Obviously, I don't want to attack the rust spots mechanically and risk damaging thinned plating.
The razor is in good condition apart from these tiny rust spots.
Is there a prescribed way of cleaning the spots, please? What is the metal beneath the plating? I'm assuming steel so a smear of oil would preserve the razor into the future.
Your suggestions and advice are most welcome!
