Thread: How to prevent rust??

Yeah, + 1 top what velocityboy said, water never comes near my razors other than in the soap/lather and washcloth. I actually don't think there is any need to rinse in water; I wipe on a damp washcloth. make sure you dry the razor as best as you can post shave. I also wipe a thin film of Eucalyptus oil on the razor. Once in a little while I dip the pivot area in the Eucalyptus oil too. I think getting all the water out of a pivot is really hard if you rinse the razor. When you look at old razors you can see that's where the rust is; and where the blade is covered by the scales.
