I should mention that I keep the pins slightly oiled (with Dovo razor oil, which I think is a generic mineral oil). So even when lather/water gets to the pin, it's really unlikely to get into the pub hole and sit for a long time.

Would you mind sharing how you get the oil through the pin to the blade? I had assumed that the pin prevented anything getting there.

Oh, I really don't do anything special, just a little drop of oil near the pin. You can feel that it goes in because the friction holding the scales diminishes.

I repeat that every few shaves. I *think* this treatment keeps water from getting in there
