You need to take good care of your blade. Heat it with hot water to warm the blade and then let it dry open, the heat will dry the blade quicker. I dry mine with a stropping motion on a towel, but I use stainless blades almost exclusively. Put it away in a good place away from the steam in the shower and somewhere open. If your going to leave it alone for a week I'd go ahead and put a drop of oil in the pivot pin if its a carbon razor. This spot is hard to dry and rusts easily.
