Also I’ve used WD40 a lot. Can’t say it’s affected me. But like any razor I oiled it gets wiped down. I’m sure everyone wipes down their razor after oiling before use. Dry the razor completely and you’ll be good. We see this kind of rust from new guys because they just didn’t dry it
Even if that were the case... it takes water + o2 + iron to make rust... Water and iron alone won't do it.

To each their own... I agree you shouldn't oil a wet tool, but if you're going to oil you're good after a wipe down.
