Thread: Keeping Your Hand Dry

I have always been bothered by a wet hand and wet & dirty blade when shaving. Not obsessed just bothered. So I keep a hand towel on the counter to dry my hands and razor repeatedly when shaving. But the towel never totally dried my hand.


We keep a Micro Fiber towel hanging on the shower door handle to wipe down the door after a shower. Our water is hard and water spots are a never ending problem. The Micro Fiber dispatches those spots quickly and easily.


I like to build lather on my face, a little soap, little hot water work it in. A little more hot water, work it in briskly. More hot water, work it in. The end result is a thick hot lather and a soap speckled mirror. Then wipe down with the Micro Fiber when done.

Well I noticed the Micro Fiber absorbs the water from my hand very well when cleaning the mirror. So I started keeping the Micro Fiber on the counter when shaving for drying my hand and the razor and cleaning the blade.


The end result of the Micro Fiber are;
1.Your hand is perfectly dry.
2.Your razor is perfectly dry & clean during & after your shave.
3.Your razor pivot pin stays dry.
4.Your brush is dry. Blot on the Micro, Shape and Hang.
5.Your Mirror is clean and Fixtures are Bright & Shiny
6.Your Bride is happy & life is good.


My wife tosses them in the laundry with the towels & into the dryer though they do shrink some. I bought a package of a bunch, 24 I think, about 18x18 inches from Costco or Sam’s a couple of years ago for 10 or 12 dollars for washing & waxing our cars.

They are also great for a sharpening session again, I prefer my hands dry. It also keeps the razor dry and clean so you can see what you’re doing.

Maybe it will keep someone from dropping a razor.
