Can I use a haid dryer?

Yes, a hair dryer would help dry the blade. You also might try this solution.

My routine involves a boiling a kettle of water to use during my shave, and there is plenty left at the end to pour it over the blade. It gets the metal hot enough to air dry in a matter of seconds.

But, as others have said, the blade should be oiled after using it.

Be careful doing this.. if the water is still close to scalding when you pour on the razor is there not a chance of affecting the blade temper?

i Just wipe carefully all over with tissue, I don't generally leave it open (though i may consider it from now) and haven't had any black dot issues where blades contact scales. but i'm very very careful about drying and polishing. If you do get water inaround the pin and it's proving a bitch to clean, some of the guys use the little cans of compressed air you get for keyboard cleaning. I use WD40, quick blast and alls good

Even at boiling, it's only 212 F, at least 100 degrees from any temperature that could affect the temper.
