If you use the alcohol and oil dip, make sure it is 91% alcohol.

When I get a new razor I clean it off and use flitz on it (None gold wash blades) that leaves a wax layer on the blade. I then put a small drop of oil in each side of the pivot and work it in a little. wipe the excess off.
When I shave the blade does not hold water so it is less likely to get in the pivot. If water gets in the pivot. I hit it with compressed air. You can buy compressed air in the computer department in cans with a tube Then a drop of 91% alcohol on each side of the pivot and let it sit for a minute or 2. Then reoil the pivot.
Let the razor sit out open and air dry in a dry place. I store my razor in a wooden cigar box that has been sealed with polyurathan on the outside.
In the box I keep 5 packets of desicant.

So far I have never seen any sign of rust on any blade

I do recoat the blades with wax or flitz every 6 to 8 weeks.

Hope this helps some of you folks?
