I guess I'm a little OCD with my razors too. I take them apart and rinse them, dry them, then polish them up with a soft cloth, I'll even twist the cloth into a point that I can insert into the female thread as a lot of water tends to sit there. IMO if any corrosion is to occur it will be in the threads where water sits, so about once a week I'll apply a little light oil to the threads (or even cooking oil will suffice) Follwing this procedure, I've never had to take a toothbrush to it yet, although the adjustables/TTO razors are a little trickier to keep completely clean of soap scum due to all the little hard to reach places.
