I'm wondering as well. I've never had a problem in the past, but I also live in the desert.
Larry, I noticed you are using silica gel notwithstanding you store your razors in silicon sleeves. Is the box stored in a humid location or it is a pure precaution ? I'm starting to think about my leather sleeves choice .... And wish to keep my razors perfect for Feltspanky !
Wow now that's a collection. My 3 straights and assorted DE's are a sad pathetic bunch compared to that.OK Larry.
All good advice proffered here. Glad to read of it.
In my 30+ years of straight shaving I've never had an issue with rust (except for scale rot - which is an entirely different problem than we are addressing here).
For any blade that is stored long term it receives a coating of petroleum jelly.
