I find I get small bumps or spots around my lip now and then and it's tricky not to cut these. I would throw away a lot of blades unnecessarily if I did
Stainless? Really?

stainless steel is not stain free steel, it is steel that stains less than carbon steel due to the chromium content. if you add to much it becomes neigh on impossible to harden, which is fine for a dive knife, not so go for a wafer thin razor blade. there are some interesting stainless steels out there where they have replaced the carbon with nitrogen and these are a lot better at withstanding rust.

Laser blades. There's your problem.
Seriously though, I've yet to find anyone who can say anything particularly nice about them. Try an Astra / Gillette / Personna / Feather. I've had no problems with any of them rusting, even when left in a razor.
I'm happy to PIF you a couple of AstraSPs if you would like. Just PM me if so.

I can say something nice about them. Since they appear not to have been sharpened they deserve the title of a safety razor blade.

I had some rather nasty razor burn from the laser blades. Won't buy them again, even at their economical price.

My last batch of 100 Astra SP blades cost £8 shipped from Turkey - the same price per blade as those awful Lasers!
Admittedly, you have to buy in multiples of 100...but...but...
