Hallo,

inwiefern kann es Sinn machen, Rasierklingen in Essig zu lagern? Ich
habe dazu folgendne engl. Text gefunden:

"Actually, what wastes the shaving razors isn't the hardness of the
facial hair
like a barber knife.

It is rusting what dulls a blade, spite the fact that the steel isn't
supposed
to oxidize, what you do with alcohol, is avoid the rusting process by
killing
the bacteria that foments the rusting so only the water rusts the
blade.

I put my own razor in vinegar, that way, my blade doesn't rust as
house-hold
vinegar already has alcohol and unrusts the blade a bit because it is
so
alcaline.

You can even put the razor in without cleaning it at the end, the
vinegar will
will degrade the hair and skin."

Klingt für mich ziemlich unglaublich...

Ist da was dran oder handelt es sich hierbei um ein Hoax??

Eher Hoax
Normale Rasierklingen werden aus kaltgewalzten C-Stählen (C60 - C75)
hergestellt. Dadurch werden die Klingen hart (ca 65 HRC) und haben durch
die von Hause aus sehr glatte Oberfläche einen ausreichenden Rostschutz,
der durch Seifenreste (wer kocht schon Klingen nach dem rasieren aus?)
verstärkt wird. Ausserdem gilt: Gehärtete Stähle rosten erheblich langsamer
als weiche Stähle.
Essigsäure ist bei C-Stählen nicht wirklich eine gute Idee. Wenn schon
würde ich Phosphorsäure nemen das ist ein guter Inhibitor :-)
