What brush are you sing with the soap?

how long was your shave.. i can understand that a shave for about a our did dry your lather.
you get most of the time a good shave after a shave or 30, there are Some guys by 5 or 10 but hold on on 30. it will get better hold on with this.

Just rinse the blade, but be sure you don't knock the edge on the side of the sink or faucet and you'll be fine. Every shave will be better than the last one. It just takes a while to get your face mapped properly and figure out a stroke pattern that works best for your face and beard. Like others have said, make sure it's absolutely dry before you put it away. Don't forget to dry the inside of the scales with some toilet tissue too. It's easy for a droplet of water to hide in there.

There are many variables. Right now I would think it might be your technique, as already stated, could be your soap. I am most curious as to where in Canada you are. There are quite a few Canadians here. Help may or may not be close by. Some places in Canada are a little hard to get to. When you rinse your razor under the tap there is a risk of dinging the blade, so some choose to simply wipe the blade off on a folded towel. I am a blade rinser, and never wipe it off until I'm all finished up.
