I aquired couple of old unopened early 80's tucks of English Wilkinson Sword and a wonderful blade it is.

But..in a regular use which include a rinse and shake at the end of the shave after 3 days the blade start to brown up.

This doesn't happen with any other blade I tried ban the old G.Super Silvers.

My go to the Voshkod and Lab blues get used in the same way ie change blade weekly on Sunday and never showed sign of browning.
 
Odd. I only had one rust up in about 2 days but I was on holiday and put the razor straight into a bathroom cabinet after the shave where I usually leave them out to dry. Great blades though.

Aren't you shower shaving for a couple of months? And storing your razor and blade in the steamy shower atmosphere? QED.

Yes I am, and the shower resident Tech was holding a Rapira SS last week with no browning, I'll load a new one me think and park it down in the kitchen which is a slight pita but not the end of the world
