    Yeah, live and learn. I strop on a towel to get the lather off then after the shave I hold the blade with both hands under low flowing water to ensure I don't nick the blade. But the problem isn't where you are careful it is where you don't think you will hit anything, I had the blade move suddenly when I didn't expect it so mine almost hit the counter top edge. Can't win!

    I haven't done this yet, but maybe I'm just a slow starter!

    I've never done this myself. I wipe the lather off with my finger and rinse the blade once at the end.

    i hang my face towel over the faucet and put another one around the edges of the sink. I started doing this after I dinged my brand new Dovo the first week I started shaving.

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Lather for the most part is air mixed with soap and a minute portion of water, why not just wipe the blade off on a dry washcloth or towel and avoid the dings.
