Haven't found instructions for cleanup after the shave.
Hey guys,
My razor's on the way, hopefully it will arrive tommorrow. I purchased lynn's DVD from classic shaving and watched it this weekend. It was very informative and I think I'm all set for getting down to it. The one thing I didn't see in the DVD though, and haven't found yet on the site here is instructions on what to do after the shave in terms of putting your razor away in a way that protects it from rust, or what to do with a mug with soap and lather.
Do you rinse out the mug? Or just let the lather dry in the mug?
I assume you dry the blade off with a towel, but do I need to oil it or anything else? Do I strop the blade after the shave or only before?
Thanks for any advice,
Rob
Instructions for Cleanup . . .
Hello, RobertH,
Seattle is quite humid, so I would imagine, then, that your area is, too.
Both Ursus and Stubear make excellent points on the cleanup. Also, if by chance I think the pivot area has somehow become wet, I use a dental floss to dry it. The floss is a bit hard to maneuver in that area and care must be taken, but the practice seems to work for me.
Good luck.
