I hot water rinse mine the disassemble and might rinse again. After that I put the blade on a microfiber towel and dry the razor parts with a separate much softer microfiber cloth that won't even scratch a mirror finished Wolfman type finish.
I do this every time and leave it to dry usually 24 hours.
It's a bit of procedure but some of these razors are expensive, to me.
I you look at the Poll in the thread link I posted above you will see that membership was more of less split 50:50 on disassemble and rinse/dry vs leave it. You can still participate in the Poll if you like.
You're wise to take care of your valuable razors especially vintage ones. I will dig around and see if I can find the post I made wherein I pasted instructions I received from Chris at RazorPlate (with permission) regarding care of vintage razors.
