    Default My routine

    By no means am I saying this is the only way but I haven't had a rust problem since I started doing it this way....

    I BTW don't pay any attention to not getting the pivot wet..

    Rinse razor under very hot water, shake off excess water with a snap of the wrist or two... wipe off razor, spray a folded piece of TP with WD-40 wipe blade, tang, and tail, leave razor open in drawer until the next morning then fold and put it in it's spot... Take out next razor in rotation, wipe off WD-40, strop, shave and repeat...
    I have not had an adverse reaction to any scales as of yet, although I have not tried this on wooden scales that have only wax for protection, I would be very careful there....
