Keeping frameback dry
I suspect that this topic has been discussed before, but I couldn't find the answer by searching the forum. Please direct me if this new thread is redundant.
This small E A Berg frameback from Eskilstuna is a nice shaver, but I'm not sure how to keep it dry. As seen on the picture, water easily comes in between the blade and the spine. Usually I let it dry and oil it up, but I'm afraid that there's water left in there.
What do you do to keep your framebacks dry and free from rust? Should I try to fill the cavity up, with for example epoxy or wax?

Why are you letting it get wet? If yOu are rinsin sing youR blade you may wish to reconsider, to rid the blade of soap residue and stubble simply wipe it on a dry cloth. There is no reason to risk rust from water damage or the inevitable ding on the faucet.

Canned air can stink up the place. The bitterant to keep people from huffing it is nasty.

Hi, thanks for the answers.
I figure that even if I don't rinse under the tap, the lather will inevitably touch the spine/blade joint line, and water/soap will be drawn into the frame by capillary force. How did people do in the old days and the pre-CannedAir era?
Best,

Have to wonder if that razor was orig.made like That.

Thought most framebacks like that had a little set screw where the opening is.
