I have had some rust issues it the past, just some rust on the tang where some water that I didn't quite get to drained down on it. I have abot 20 razors. I don't have any fancy holders yet. The razor I have ready for shaving I have put a small sticker on that says "Ready" on the handle. Some off mine hard the get sharp, may have to send them out to one of the guys that do that service. I make double sure now that they are dry and put a dab of Barricade on them and keep the so the oil doesn't drain on the scales. I had RAD when I first started but its getting better now. I have only 2 razors on my watch list on E-BAY right now.
