    Good job !

    On a previous point, I always use toilet paper to remove lather but a dry towel is popular & fairly traditional too.

    a nice white towel is a lot more stylish, but I'd have tons more to wash, as it is only stylish when used once.
    Will need to build up a towel-rotation next to my razor-rotation

    Wait, so there is a reason why people rotate through razors other than the fact that is it awesome to have 10 razors?
