A lot of folks complain about these rusting up on them. Me I get 3 shaves, no rust and this is from total neglect, I use no tricks to prevent it from rusting. No wiping, no alcohol baths, nothing.
Will, you must have good water at your place. I think hard water will promote degradation of the blade.
My water is not hard no, that maybe the reason I have no rust reports. I would still use them even If I could only get 1-2 shaves. What can I say they work for me.
I like the blades as well, and theyre a great price. I have extremely hard water and dont have any problems with rust. I get atleast 3 shaves out of them and leave them in my steamy bathroom and dont have any issues. I just do the usual hot water and shake. I think all the carbon treet blades perform about the same and I tend to like them all. I have a pack of their stainless steel blades in my bathroom, I'll have to see if they perform as well. Great blade overall.
