    Try coating your blade with some mineral oil after using, and maybe find a sealed case to store it in.

    I have to agree with this. I use these, and they really are pretty great. If I were going really long term, I would probably tuf glide as well, but for my purposes, they have worked well. I bought a dozen, and will be ordering another dozen soon.

    And another method. My bathroom door is never closed all the way (I live alone) because a very vocal half Siamese cat hates closed doors. As a result I have almost nil humidity from a hot shower. When done shaving and rinsing blade without getting water in the pivot area I have a medium size jar from olives filled with a mixture of high proof rubbing alcohol and mineral oil that I carefully dip the blade in up to just past the heel. With finger rub some oil on the blade up into the pivot area, lightly wipe excess off with a cotton pad and put back in rack on wall. I got the idea from another SRP member and I can't remember who and I want to thank him, love the method.

    Only took me once to learn that lesson...will try not to mention wiping the blade with Brasso, then a bleach type cleaner, then read somewhere that lemon would remove the rust...hahaha...was a complete panic induced catastrophe...all for one minor filmy white soap stain that just wouldn't seem to come off....
    Well did it work, did the soap stain go away?

    I keep both my Dovos resting on a micro fiber towel in the drawer of my shaving stand coated with mineral oil.There are a couple of dessicent packets inside the drawer as well. No rust problems.
