Still my razors seem to get those black spots every now and then, indicating there was - after all - moisture involved.

Do you live near the ocean where salt air is a problem? If your razors are getting black spots between shaves, you need to wipe each razor with an oily cotton cloth after each use. This practice will keep a film of oil on the surface of the steel at all times. That should be the end of your black spots. A good quality gun oil is quite sufficient for this purpose.

I live in Southern Finland near the ocean but my understanding is that the humidity shouldn't be a problem around here at all. My description of the problem was bit inaccurate: the razors don't get black spots between shaves, but slowly during the months. And I think it's more of a problem with my laziness than anything else... Anyway, this and the other answers show that a stainless razor could make the daily routine slightly easier. Thanks for the answers this far, guys!
