No Don that is not too cautious. If your bathroom gets humid, keep 'em out of there.

I now have a place in the bedroom where I can keep them in pen display stands and no more issues.
The bathroom, especially if you have just one with several family members using it will stay humid for hours each day.

Hi Don, I just use large "Harley" mugs, but it's pretty dry here, I shower with the door open as no kids and basically am the only one who uses this bathroom. Lynn
Thanks, Lynn. That just wouldn't work here. Our bathroom would make a decent walk in closet, pretty typical for a ranch type house built in the late '50s :)
Of course having 3 people in the place doen't help any either!

Just to be safe sometimes because I keep my razors in the bathroom, I will wipe down the blade with Tuf-Cloth just before placing in my DOVO stand.
I've expericenced these black spots on my prized DovoQuote:

which I cannot seem to get rid of , I thought I was pretty through drying it .
Could anyone advise on how to get rid of these -I read ( not sure if it was on the forum ) not to use metal polish on the blades .
You can use a little "Maas" to remove the spots and I know that a lot of guys here use it to clean up spots on their razors. Perhaps you're not drying the blade well enough. Dry using a hair dryer after you wipe the blade clean to really get all the moister off it. If the blade is really kept dry, there's no way it can rust ;)Quote:

Try a piece of a cloth diaper or similar rag stretched tight over a credit card and try and get in there with some metal polish such as MAAS, Flitz, Wenol, metal-Glo, etc etc. Follow with dish soap and a toothbrush scrubbing, then dry thoroughly and add a drop of oil. ***Another tip.. I always try to keep my pivots dry (unless I shave in the shower, and that's usually my Dovo INOX), but if I do get some moisture in the pivot, I keep a can of air with the little straw under my sink. You know the ones, canned air sold at computer stores, etc for blowing out keyboards, camera lenses, etc. It blows out the pivots well, then a drop of sterol worked into the pivot keep the planets happily in line.
