I keep razors & strops in the bedroom, partly because of steam, and partly because of guests.
Keep your pivot dry!

I'm with the rest of the crew who keep their blades out of the steamy environment. So far so good.

Apply a small amount blade lube after each use.

Yes, it will. No razors in steamy environment, I think?

Thats a very good point as well "The guest Factor" Where your so called friends want to see how sharp your razor is by trying to cut a toilet paper roll in half. Originally Posted by deepweeds

I stay away from stupid people. Just my general rule of thumb. Originally Posted by Tarkus

Thanked: 1 Excellent points, all
I hadn't thought it out much. The SRs that I wasn't using reside in a dopp kit. I guess I'll move it into the desk that houses all of my other SR supplies in an adjacent room. I figured that the amount of water vapor getting to the blades would be minimal because the turnover into the dopp kit would minimal at most, but any is some, I guess. I guess that they would just corrode more slowly. How does having the blades in another room play into your "rotation"?

It dang sure will. I found out the hard way. I always dab my razors dry after cleaning them, but found it only takes 2 days of steamy showers to give the blade a surface coat of rust. The day I tried to shave with it was also the day I came to a new and full understanding of the meaning behind the line 'Shave his belly with a rusty razor' in 'What Would You do With a Drunken Sailor.'
This has become my new system. Razors and strops are stored away from steam and moisture. Originally Posted by deepweeds
