Thread: Electric fan

I recently bought a small clip-on electric fan to dry my razors after i am done. My Lady swears that its too much. I think im only getting started. What do you think?

I have a large capacity air-compressor installed in the bathroom cabinet for that same purpose. Just kidding. I use tissue paper then a blow dryer, using caution not to heat up the scales. I fashioned a nipple out of a kitchen funnel. This is attached to the business end of the blow dryer, and helps to blow out around the pins. No, a small fan is not too much.

Tissue and a towel and then strop it. It's all good here.

Some canned air does the trick. Most of those clip on fans don't blow much anyway.

Nelson, that's a great suggestion.

Its true, they dont blow much, but its a lot better than nothing, and if they run for 30 min. the help to dry that 1/10 of a drop that is between the steel and the scales...!!!

Have you considered the use of a hairdryer. Its a fan its got some power and you don't have to use heat if you don't want to. Oh and its probably already in your bathroom. Just a thought.

just leaving the razor open after shaving takes care of any drops left in the scales , later on when you walk by it shut it, ya its too much, but its like everything abut this. when your starting out we do a lot of crap we don't need. I wipe mine down with my towel and leave open no issues so far and I live in wet humid Memphis Tc

Its a good idea, but no. I have not considered it because im bald. There aint no blowers in the house. In the other hand, one would be extremely loud. :-/

Thanks for the advice.

You mentioned a "Lady" in your previous post. That's why I mentioned it. Most ladies usually have a hair drier or three laying around. In reality I believe tcrideshd 's philosophy is on point. Wipe air dry and forget. As I said once before I don't even oil my razors any more and after a few years no rust or tarnish I can see. When we start we tend to over do a lot of things. But that's part of the fun and gaining experience. All that matters is that you enjoy it.
