Thread: What is the best thing to clean razor with ?

Tuf-Glide is my inhibitor-of-choice. I ought to strop, after shaving (like I ought to brush, after eating), but I don't do either... always "later".

Actually, brushing your teeth two hours after eating is said to be better for enamel. Mum's a dental assistant

I wipe the razor dry with a towel, use toilet paper to clean any water from between the scales and leave it slightly open on my razor stand to completely dry over night.

I rinse, then wipe dry with towel, then strop 20x on felt to completely remove anything left, then 30x on leather and leave out overnight

I rinse with hot water, and then wipe dry on a fresh towel. I then use a pressure duster, the kind for your keyboard, to blast any water away from the pivot pin, and dry the blade once more. Works well.

Hot water, wipe off water and between scales with tissue, and some Tuf-Glide....
