Thread: Faucet wrap a little neat trick

You could try something like this, I borrowed it from my little boy. It makes shave time much more fun.

Oh my Gawd)

Thats awesome Readensteel!! I use my oldest sons sippy-cup holder for a scuttle?!? it's Buggs Bunnys Head and plastic so it safe in the shower. Besides he 22 now and doesn't use it anymore.... I hope?

I bring a damp sponge to the blade and wipe. Doesn't get near the sink except to clean post-shave. Then it has my full attention.

I rinse it off in the sink just like the OP. It has worked out so far because I pay really good attention to where the blade is all the time (ever since a close call with the tip of my thumb bumping the round edge of the blade).

I like the washcloth idea though, you can never be too careful. Especially for new people like myself that wouldn't be able to repair it.

I just use a regular household sponge. Wet it before I start shaving, then to get rid of the soap & whiskers after a few strokes, I just "strop" the blade against the sponge. Never have to worry about hitting the faucet, sink, etc. When a pass is completely done I just hold the sponge under the running water and rinse it all away.

It's Darwanism man...

Hey Mate!

My Granny Davis did this trick but she also lined the kitchen sink with a large dish towel when she was washing her good china!!

Ol' Steadyhands, they call him!

(I've never dinged mine on the faucet, either, but I once dropped a razor that hit the counter, the toilet, the tub, and the tile floor, so no points for me. Except in Plinko.)

If i didn't trust myself near the faucet I certainly wouldn't trust myself near my nose!
