Thread: A few questions

1. Sorry to sound flip, but its going to take as long as it takes you to stop tearing it up, newbie techniques and questionable edges...because eventually newbies trash their blade but continue to try to use it. Yes, you probably should expect to get a decent burn at least once along with the normal nick and pinches...hopefully no cuts.

2. No let it fill up with lather. Most folks do not rinse their blade but "strop" the lather off on a towel, damp washrag or sponge. There is a good chance of seriously damaging your blade swirling it in the sink by hitting the sink or faucet!

3.Yes, you should hear a sound. A "scratching" sound is normal for most razors.
