I use liquid dish soap to remove any residue from the blade as I've found that many shaving soaps do leave a residue/if you don't believe me just rinse your blade as normal then while it's wet slide your fingers up and down the blade, then apply a drop of the dish soap to each side apply some water and work it in, then rinse again and I do believe that you will then find the blade 'squeaky clean'

Back to drying the blade. After the washing I dry the blade with a towel then use a blow dryer to make sure any moisture is gone from the edge and blade in general. I try to do the same at the pivot but very carefully as I don't want to get so much heat as to affect the scales.

After a couple of minutes I apply a drop of the Ballistol and use a piece of toilet paper to coat the blade and edge.

When I'm ready to shave, I rinse the Ballistol off with hot tap water, then wipe the blade dry, strop and shave.

This works for me, perhaps it will work for you.
I think I'm going to give that a try...usually I rinse my blade after a shave in running hot water, then dry with a tissue and let air dry, then strop and store in a razor sock. Next time I'm going to check out the residue point you've made - it wouldn't surprise me with left over residue...can't hurt and squeaky clean is the way to go....definitely worth a try! Thanks!
