Thread: First of many posts but first of little questions

Razors are usually made from high carbon steel, which rusts in a jiffy.
You have to dry it out really well for example, washing the blade in hot water so the heat accelerates drying, drying with tissue paper and making sure the scales are dry too. Stropping after shave helps to dry the edge too. Leaving the razor open to dry and a light coat of oil helps keep it in good condition.

Do try to limit the water on the blade during shaving too. Not dipping/washing the whole razor (especially pivot) helps too. Some people wipe the lather off with a towel or tissue.
