Iron rusts. This razor is not made of iron. Its made of pot metal and chrome plated. What you have to worry about is not proper cleaning the soap off it and drying it, and you need to worry about dinging it and chipping the chrome, or dropping it and the head breaks off at the threads.Im worried about my chrome razors also. Chrome does not last forever, so i was thinking about getting a Feather, or an Above The Tie, or an Ikon Stainless steel razor.Still, for $33, its a good buy anyway. Razorock razors are just as good and are chrome over brass, which is better than Murker, Edwin Jagger, Parker, Muhle, or most others between $30-60, and the Razorock is $19.99- $24.99. Iron rusts.

I am stupid and didn't keep my razor dry. It rusted pretty badly where the head screws on to the handle.

Have had mine for 15 yrs and no corrosion. If you drop it in the shower it may crack the shower floor it is that tough.

Hey Jeff,No, it wont rust in the shower. I also used to shave in the shower and it didn't rust. However, unlike a regular shaver where you can shave without a mirror (i could anyways) this requires more attention to detail. But you wont have any problem with it rusting.

No, it's stainless steel. After pondering over my answer I decided I could be mistaken. I disassembled my razor and upon examination I discovered the middle section of razor looks to be zinc die cast. I'am a machinist and have worked with die cast. The other sections could possibly be stainless . But my guess is, if not stainless, it is some sort of non ferrous material, i.e. zinc, brass, aluminum, copper, nickel, that has a high quality chrome or nickel plating which would make it rust and corrosion resistant. Hope this was helpful.

I shave in the shower as well and have kept mine on a mirror with a built-in handle mounted in the shower for years. No rust. The blades may rust, but they're so cheap I usually replace them every 2-3 days anyway.

Please don't leave your razor in the shower. Although the razor parts may not rust, the blade itself will go dull quicker and ruin your shave.

No, it won't rust but I've had to replace mine because it dropped and the screw to the head broke... and they don't sell replacement parts as far as I've found. So just be careful with it because it's not indestructible. :)

Hello, Sorry, this model is not waterproof. Only the blades can be removed and washed under water. No shaving in the shower for this model!

We bought for our bathroom where we all shower. It's steamy and we've had for a year with out rust. I'd never put in the shower or spray it with water every day. LOL.

Yes. I have two. The metal parts on one of them started showing some rust after a couple months of very light use. It's in a guest bathtub shower that doesn't even get much if any direct spray. The rust on mine is on the chrome inside the plastic, not the exposed chrome. But it's still very noticeable.

A DE shaver works great in shower but until you've practiced in front of a mirror and get the hang if it. There's less room for error using a double edged razor. A good DE would be fine left in the shower they are extremely well made and durable. I would suggest wiping it down with a soft cloth when changing the blade. Get the soap scum off etc. make sure the is no blade in it when wiping it down!

We have been using it in the shower for 3 mos and i have not seen any rust. It is very sturdy. My disabled mom loves this chair.

I haven't had my shelf very long, but it seems to be very durable. Our bathroom, is very large and mine is mounted on the wall well away from the shower, so I know it won't rust there. But if you have it in a bath that gets totally hot and steamy, or close enough to where it might get splattered, be aware that it might rust. I like it because it holds alot and we can always have clean, fresh towels handy.

Mine in hung outside the shower area. It is chrome though so it shouldn't rust.

You can do it, but it's not designed for it (Braun even says not to) so Braun will not repair or replace it if it is damaged that way. Then again, how could they prove you were using it in the shower rather than just rinsing it? I wouldn't ever use it in the shower. I love this razor though. Nothing beats a Braun.

We don't leave it in the tub all the time. After the shower is done I take it out of the tub, wipe it off, and store it in a spare bedroom. So far, we have seen no sign of rust. It really is a nice unit, very sturdy and easy to use.

I had the stand for three months now and there is no rust yet. I take it in to Tge shower when I shave so it's been exposed to lots of moisture abs still no rust.

I just installed the tub, I don't beleive that this tub will rust or it is very unlikely.

Yes, it can. After 6 months of using it in this capacity, no rust. The padded seat is more comfortable than the teak shower seat.

Yes and No. Yes in that the metal most likely will not rust and the handle most likely will not be adversely affected by the heat and chlorine that is usually in dish waver detergents. No in that thers a good chance that the blade edge will be jostled and dinged and dulled especially if you're not OCD about knife handling and putting things in the dish washer. On balance like others suggest always hand wash and dry your knife and put them away as soon as possible after use,

Sure, you can safely use it in the shower. Used wet, it gives an even smoother shave than dry!

well, it IS made of metal--albeit stainless steel-- so I wouldn't leave it sitting in a bowl of water. Also, razor blades can rust, so I suggest if it is being stored, it should be dry, with blade removed. Ours is doing just fine with regular usage... no rust yet.

Haven't had a problem with rusting. Sounds nasty but touching your face and then putting the oil of your skin on the blade helps so much
