My hubby shaves while he is in the shower. What's the rust factor on this razor & can it be left in the shower (on a hook, not sitting in water)?

The information sheet that came with the razor states to open the razor blade chamber and rinse all the debris out and then shake dry and store on the MicroTouch One stand that came with it. On the box says chrome plated solid brass. I don't know but would think the chrome would rust if it isn't allowed ample drying time.

It should be fine really. It will eventually see issue. Most likely the blade.

if you have the razor stand and have a place to put it in the shower the razor will not rust.

I was using a shaving soap with this razor and I believe the soap "gummed" up the inside rod until it seized up on me. I had been soaking it in vinegar and scrubbing it with a toothbrush for about a month to clean it up. I just ordered a merker (sp?) last night hoping it will be more durable. I went off of the Amazon ratings of like 4,000 to make the decision and because the dimensions were the same as the microtouch. I have 500 razor blades I purchased to use with the microtouch that I now can't use. Hopefully, the razor blades will still work with the merker. Hope that helps. I'm not sure if it's rust as much as the soap type you use that causes the problem.

I believe it is stainless steel. I shave in the shower as well. I have not seen any rust. It is as shiny as the day I got it. It comes with it's own stand that it hangs from, that I have on a shelf in the shower.

I would not be concerned about the razor rusting. I would advise getting high quality blades such as persona so the blade does not rust. The blades are available online at Amazon or at Sally's.

Well wipe it off at after usage and put some oil on the blade and you won't have rust problems. I keep mine stored in its sheath and I have never had rust

I don't see any metal parts in this brush so I am not sure where the rust came from. May be it is just some discolored water left at the bottom of the holder from the brush after you use it. I always make sure I shake the water off before I put the brush back to the holder.

You can. It's "stain-less" steel which means it's resistant to rust. I wash mine off after shaving, being careful not to get too much water in the pin (the pivot point) and then dry the entire thing off. I use a folded piece of TP to dry in between the scales (handle)

The term "wet" in this case means that the shaver can be used with shaving creme or even in the shower. The electrical parts are effectively sealed so that they will not be damaged if it gets wet. Personally, I have never used this in the shower. I have occasionally used it right after showering when my face is still wet, but I honestly don't find it to makes much of a difference from a "dry" shave. If anything, I think wet whiskers tend to easily clog the cutters. That's why I generally use it dry.

I have mine in the bathroom but not in the shower. It rusted a bit where the pieces are welded together but that's because I don't wipe it often enough. In conclusion, it may rust in the shower;)

Likely will rust and have water incursion. Stainless steel grab bars are all I've found to not deteriorate. Those plus a shower chair provide user independence.

I don't know exactly but here is how you can determine if you can use it in the shower.1.) Is it sealed from water? Answer I don't know I will have to look on the instructions but I suspect it is not.2.) Is its blades made of stainless steel and will not rust? This model is made with stainless steel blades so water will not rust them so this is good.I personally don't like to do everything in the shower like shaving or trimming as I think it is a waste of water and not easy to use a mirror and doing a great job. Based on how all of the attachments are used and the fact that trimming beard and mustaches dry would be a preferred method I don't think any trimmer will do well in a shower.

I haven't let mine stay wet. I use it and then hand wash and dry it. High carbon steel does rust and the knife has layers of stainless steel and high carbon steel. I imagine that if you put it away wet it would rust. The core is high carbon steel. That's what makes the edge. You wouldn't want the edge to rust.

I just use it not getting it wet or anything . I think water might rust the blades

I don't think it would rust, I would just be sure to turn a fan on or leave the door open while showering. It is really beautiful and I've received a ton of compliments on it. My only issue is one light keeps blowing. I've replaced it 3 times in just a few weeks. It's likely a defect, but it's up and I can't bring myself to take it down to return it. (would be too much work)

I have not used my razor in the shower, but I can tell you that of all the electric razors I have used in the past this razor is virtually irritation free, and I am picky about that. Beyond that, it is the nearest thing to a blade razor shave that I have ever experienced. For the money, I don't think it can be beat.

I don't immerse the razor but it's heads and cutters are easily cleaned under the faucet. It is not a wet shave razor. I think it's the best razor Remington has made. I'm on my the third MS2-390 and the only problem I have experienced is the battery life is only 3-4 years.

I have not had any issues with it rusting, and I've had it a couple of years. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, but only the blade that touches the can really gets dirty. I just give is a quick rinse or wipe it off really quickly with a sponge.

Thanks for your inquiry! I cannot say that anyone has stated their use for this stool specifically in the shower. But it is made out of plastic so it can withstand water. It is also textured to prevent slipping and has rubber grips on the corners. So with that in mind, I don't see why you couldn't use the item for the purpose of shaving in the shower. Hope that helps! Have a good day!

I don't leave it in the bowl. After my shave I rinse the bar off and put it back in the soap container it comes in. It will be a little damp when you put it away but it has not gotten soggy on me.

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.
