    As dry a climate as one may live in, the razor is still exposed to water during the shave.
    As Max said some steels are more prone to rust than others.
    If you look thru a microscope you'd be surprised what the surface of a new razor looks like after a few shaves.
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    Be sure the blade is dry when you put it up, happens to everybody and for the same reason.

    Admittedly new both to this site and straight razor use, but, with a concern for the potential for spotting/rust, I wipe the blade clean, then run a hair dryer over the razor to make certain that all moisture on the blade, or inside the scales (especially around the pin is evaporated...then oil.
