All this seems like soo much work just to keep a razor in good shape. Can't you just leave the razor in an anti rusting agent? Or is that stupid?

It's not much work. None of the procedures mentioned above, take more than a minute or two.

I am in the DLB camp. Heat the blade up and let it dry. I have had this practice for some 3 odd year and my problems never returned. I use a Japanese applicator with Balistol and Cammelia oil mixture. I also use Renaissance Wax as a final step when I hone up my razors.
Take Care,
Richard
