Wiping the blade properly?
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?

Gentlemen:
I rinse he blade in hot water, wipe the blade with a towel, followed by Kleenex (both between forefinger and thumb), strop it (15/25) and then oil it.

Hello, nun2sharp:
I like that idea, and will give it a try tomorrow. Thank you for suggesting it.
