To give a slightly different perspective...
I shave, dry the blade with a towel, and then strop 25x on linen, and 75x on leather. My thoughts are that it cleans and dries the edge, as well. I then put the blade in a snack size ziplock bag that has a few desiccant packs in it, seal it and store, until the next shave.
If a blade is not going to be used for a while (I typically use one, until it gets dull, and then move to the next blade, with the plan to refresh the oldest blade I have), I put oil on the blade and pins, before storing in the bag.
Seems to work for me. I can get right to shaving (usually after I shower), and ensures I have a clean blade after.
