I would like to ask whether the corrosion, which I find all too common, on Swedish razors is common or restricted to my locality in Wisconsin, USA.
The steel in those I have found seems to generate "devil spit" whatever the makers' brand. Of ten I have found, 8 have mild to severe corrosion at the edge. This seems especially common to the tubular type two piece faux framebacks with a tubular spine added to a thin blade. The problem seems to be significantly higher in the Swedish razors than from any other place of manufacture. Even the highly polished ones seem to attract the corrosion.
