I loosen my 37c without fully dismantling it. I open up my superspeed.
Whether that helps full drying and prevents rust is an open questions. But it makes me feel good about myself.

I think 316 Grade SS is total over kill for a razor. 316 SS is Marine grade and designed to withstand corrosion when submerged for long periods of time and extreme temperatures such as Jet engine parts. How long is your razor submerged for and how hot is your water? Just saying…
I agree, it may very well be overkill.. but when the price is overkill and when the competitor provides better materials at the same or lower price, I'm kinda wanting the same thing...
Exactly.

316 is not “better†than 303/304, it is more corrosion resistant when exposed to chlorides. That last point is important because unless you're shaving in seawater and then leaving your razor soaking in it you're really not gaining anything with 316. The Chrysler Building has been clad in 304 stainless for nearly 100 years and it still looks just fine.
Your razor gets wet periodically and then lives in a nice warm house.

They oiled them, of course.I'm beginning to wonder how the British ever forged an empire without stainless barrels for their Brown Bess muskets as one would think from reading this thread that they would have rusted down to the wood on an ocean voyage!!
