Again, thanks for the tips. I had no idea that leather could attract moisture and actually be a source of the problem. Now I am not sure what to store my razor in....any ideas? I have the original plastic box, but I have heard before that it is not good to store razors in those because they are not ventilated. I want to keep it protected. I wanted to use tufglide originally but couldn't find it locally....might be worth ordering online.
