Well I guess it's true that YMMV.

And I can also see the common sense of the climate in your part of the world being a factor. I am in Alberta and it's usually quite dry here.

That being said, I still found that I avoid problems and (perhaps) extend the blade's life (albeit slightly) by keeping it dry and separate from the razor.

Bottom line is YMMV and "to each his own".
