Thread: Post shave routine for care and storage of the straight razor

Ok lads; care to share your post shave routines for care and storage of your straight razors?

I take care to clean all the water off the blade and handle, with particular care to the part of the handle that houses the stem it gets little air circulation when the razor is closed.

I then wage the concept of post stropping vs. letting the edge reset and almost always go the strop route.

I use the linen and leather strop and I think it probably does a grand job of friction drying and keeping the moisture at bay.

I use a qew tip to drizzle some drugstore mineral oil onto the blade, tang, rivets and all indents in the letter stamps.

Then I wage the hazards vs air circulation debate and stash the closed razor in a dedicated section of my sock drawer.

What say you?
