I never heard of these, so my curiosity led me to their webpage. Nowhere in their description do they list stainless steel. That seems to sum it all up.
Even stainless steel can rust under the right conditions. I threw an expensive kitchen knife made with HQ steel into a dishwasher once. It had rust damage afterwards.
I don't find the photo above especially remarkable. If he keeps it in the shower all the time, I would be more surprised that he doesn't experience rusting.

This is like the guy in some other thread asking what to do because his razor dropped on the tile floor and wasn't damaged..

This is true. Good point.
I was connecting dots in my mind because their whole business claim is sustainability and environmentally friendly. Since stainless steel has both chromium and nickel, and the manufacturing processes that use them are harmful to the environment, it could make sense to for them to use steel that isn’t stainless. I could be completely wrong here, but just about every blade I’ve ever seen lists stainless if they are, but My-Blade didn’t. Maybe it was an oversight and they do use stainless. Who knows at this point.
Not many producers that offer coated carbon steel blades = Treet Pakistan?
Edit: A German vendor states for the Silver: Made from German steel in Pakistan and Made from Stainless Steel in Pakistan for the Platinum ones.
So Mr. Occam would say we have repacked private label Treet Silver and Treet Platinums here.

There are some "back shavers" that do.
That was my conjecture. Treets have similar ink lines.Not many producers that offer coated carbon steel blades = Treet Pakistan?

Coincidentally I shaved my head today with a Treet Silver (Razorock Eco).
As I swap the half blades after each shave I can’t say how fast they rust but leaving them in the razor and in the shower is asking for trouble.
Nice. I am a fan of Treets. I'll have to try the Silver soon.
I tried to get all the carbon ones. The Black Beauties didn’t work at all for me and I guess they are uncoated. My favorites are the Dura Sharps (yellow pack). There are also blue Dura Sharps but those could be stainless.
The blue Dura Sharps are slightly yellow. Rightly or not I associate that tinge with carbon steel razor blades.

Maybe they just changed the packaging then. Having two blades with the same name would by slightly absurd anyway.
