During my first go at shaving this weekend, I found myself a little worried about damaging the edge while wiping the blade dry after rinsing off the soap lather and whiskers. Instead I just lightly set the blade down on a towel on each side.

Would I be damaging the edge if I wipe the blade from heel to toe sandwiched between two layers of towel? I thought about doing this but envisioned the blade being so sharp that it would catch on the towel as I dragged it through.

I think I saw a video of a guy wiping his blade on a sponge at one point...

What is the best way to dry or wipe off a blade as you progress through the shave?
