    First, water never touches blade. Lather is wiped off on a washcloth. After shave is finished, blade is stropped 6-8 strokes on a mineral oil containing newspaper strop. Then the entire blade is wiped with a mineral oil containing tyvek towel. Both the strop and towel are only lightly oiled, not anything close to saturated.
