I just use the towel around my waist when I'm shaving.
My razors don't come near water or sink, they have nothing to do there.
You can whipe on a sponge, some ppl use micro towels.
I use a big nice high quality sponge for washing cars
+1 have used a sponge to wipe between passes for over a year ever since seeing it on a video on here
my razors don't go near any sink or faucets to get dinged (touch wood)
Great to know for a newbie to the str8-razor! Thanks for sharing.
I strop the lather off onto my forearm, then give it a bit of a wipe with my towel at the end. If my forearm gets too loaded up i just give it a wipe down.
I will occasionally use my towel mid shave if i need to close my razor.
After dinging my blade on the faucet, I found this in my garage. I purchased it for our dog when I trim his nails, it was to small for his muzzle. It's a size one and fits over my vanity basin faucet perfectly.
I just slide it on and off for my shave. I did remove the straps. It allows a nice stream of water to pass an I no longer worry about committing the cardinal sin of dinging my blade. For $9.80 it's a winner.

Rinse the blade off with hot water,wipe it off with tissue paper.
I strop it on the back of my forearm during a pass (thanks, Ed), and rinse between passes so it's not tacky drying lather.
