How to care for my straight razor
First off I'd like to say hello to everyone! It's great to be here. I've spent quite a bit of time already reading the wiki and many posts of other members. I'm excited to get started shaving! Shaving as a fun experience will be a first for me.
Ok, I bought a shave kit from SRD and have shaved a total of 3 times so far (generally every other day which has been normal for me for years). That means I've had the razor for about a week. I haven't seen anything yet on how to care for the razor so it doesn't rust or damaged so I could use a little help there.
What should I use on it? Mineral oil I've heard. How much and how often? With a qtip or what? Any help here would be appreciated! That's my most pressing issue so far. I've nicked myself a couple of times but I heal quickly. My razor may not be so fortunate.
