Thread: General census on how fellow gents are cleaning the blade between passes?

Stropping 50-60 times before a shave and 40 after is actually pretty common guys...

Water in the sink.
Water on a cloth;
hung over the sink.
hang over the sink.
Swipe blade on cloth.
Rinse blade when I'm done.
Put it aside.
Put it aside.
Rinse the little cloth;
Hang it up to dry
Until next shave.
Until next shave.
Strop the razor blade,
Rinse out the dirty sink.
And rinse it twice.
And rinse it twice.
Then do a little dance.
Make a little love.
Get down tonight.
Get down tonight.

It is all a goll danged celebration in my world.

Obviously, not a NY Giants fan.

Or you can do all your stropping after the shave, there is a thread about it somewhere, it is supposed to give a better shave, though I don't know about that.

I use a wet sponge for the lather. Its like a chamois block so the hair doesn't get into it and it leaves the blade moist but really clean. Also have a flannel I use to dry?wipe if nessassary and a towel hanging near by for my hands.
