Hmm.. I really didn't think about that!
But I should be ok, as the alum block was dry when I took the picture, and I cleaned the blade under water after I took the picture.

But even if it should do something bad to my blade, it's not the end of the world, as it's not the most expensive of razors, and I might even be forced to learn how to hone/restore it
