Rusting while shaving is pretty crazy. Go to your local pet store with a small cup of water and ask them to test it. They will be able to tell you if your water is particularly harsh, acidic, etc. which MAY be the reason you're experiencing this. I don't have a TI, but all of my blades (that I use) are Carbon and don't rust, especially not while I'm shaving.

*Disclaimer: this is not to say that carbon blades don't rust...even Stainless blades WILL rust given time. AND if you wanted to get really technical you might be able to say that every blade rusts as you shave given that moisture, salts, other chemicals, and oxygen are all present as you shave...a perfect recipe for corrosion.
