Secondly, if you are going to store the razor in a box, I would suggest placing a VCI "chip" in the box (Inhibitor VCI Pro is one brand) rather than a dessicant pack.
Finally, after thoroughly cleaning and drying the razor, I prop it up against something (opened 70-80 degrees) for 10-14 hours and then store in a silicone treated cotton sleeve. These are sold by TheSuperiorShave.com and others. I used to stick them in similar sleeves made for guns (the VCI kind, not the "plain" ones) but now prefer the individual sleeves. Since I started using them nearly three years ago, I have not found a single spot of rust or corrosion on any blade and I'm in the same humid area.
Tell you what, shoot me a pm with your address and I'll send a sleeve to you to try out.
