I travel for a living so water is not consistent
I rinse the blade after use, dry with a clean towel and then a kleenex, including between the scales. Unless it's a travel day, I leave the razor open for a few hours to assure it is completely dry. I store the travelers in the grey silicon impregnated socks that most the shave shops sell. Those that I leave at home get a coat of razor oil before being put up.
I'll get a micro fiber cloth to carry with me. Maybe, I should just put them up after drying?

Wipe dry after use & carry a little bottle of mineral oil & a Q-Tip with you,,, then coat the razor with mineral oil after use.
I like to use the little "sample" shampoo/conditioner bottles that a hotel gives you,, just dump the contents,,, rinse & fill with mineral oil,,, most of these little bottles are air tight & do well not to leak.

Went through this myself. No matter of drying & stropping helped. Then I start coating with Ballistol oil and no more spots. I think the edge holds up better too. Wipes off easy or quick water rinse. I started oiling my safety & DE razors too and it also seems the edge lasts longer.

Ballistol is worth a try. That stuff is like jb weld and duct (gaffer) tape. Has many uses for firearms, as well, and I've been meaning to pick some up.
Supposed to do a fair job cutting through Cosmoline. I've spent many hours trying to remove that stuff.

Thanked: 4822I always give mine a coat of wax after I clean them. When I store them I wax them and then wrap them in VCI paper (anticorrosion paper) and a pack of silica gel in the plastic container. I live in the boreal rain forest so it is pretty moist here.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
