I have one that rusted, and a bunch that haven't. The one that rusted is one that hadn't been used in a while, and kept in a humid place. I caught it early, luckily a buddy gave me a heads up that his was rusting, so I checked all of mine. I'll ditch that one, and kee the rest out of humidity, plastic containers (or ceramic if possible) for soaps that need a holder from now on.

Have had Mike's Natural tins rust a bit.
Not CRSW though or LPL
I shave in the shower and take the soap in and out but just stack them on the wire rack shelf over my comode to air dry.
Doesn't really bother me, but I haven't ever seen a lot of rust ever. Just a tiny spot or two around the outside of the lid where a drop hung on too long.
I've never seen rust inside a metal soap container and I have enough Grundtals and Old Spice mugs that I throw away most empty soap containers anyway. Which isn't too often anymore as my rotation is enormous.

I own 8-9 LPL soaps in tins, and they have yet to rust.
No problems with my 18-19 CRSW soaps either.
I do use them in a huge soap rotation of several 100s soaps, and I always air my shave of the day soaps for at leat 2 days out in the open, beofre I close the lid on them, so that probably helps in avoiding rust issues with metal tin containers, I guess.

2 days, Claus? I feel guility leaving my Nuavia without a lid overnight. This practice didn't affect the scents of your soap long term?
How about with croaps? Same practice?

Rusting tins is one of the many reasons why I prefer refills so that I can put them in my dish of choice.
Just got two tins of Eufros from Jabonman. Both appear to be aluminum, not steel. While aluminum will oxidize over the long term, it can't rust in the traditional sense. Maybe a switch to aluminum is recent change, however.
