That is an excellent point to consider!
Every wood unless sealed somehow will hold moisture. Some better than others. As far as i know cedar wood is used to store moisture for a limited time. Just like in cigar humidors, lined with cedar, you have to add distilled water from time to time to humidifier (???) to keep the humidity ideal. When they pack cigars in these boxes at the factory, they usually add extra block of cedar wood to keep the humidity stable until opened at the store. These boxes aren't meant for storing cigars for years.

I've ever had any problems with rust with my razors although i just wipe the blade with towel after shaving, strop few times at canvas and then put the razor into box. No protective oils or anything. I would imagine that if you take dry cigar case and put dry razors or dry anything in it, there is no way they could get moisture. If the moisture comes from the air, then it will surely get into plastic container as well, sealed or not.
I might be wrong as well, but based on my experiences this would be the case.
Thanks for giving something to thing about!
