The way I see it your barbers straight razor is carbon steel which is required to take and hold an edge and will rust very easily. Your razors are stainless steel which won't rust as readily but won't get as sharp nor hold an edge as carbon steel. I can't see what using a hair dryer will do to help stainless blades.
