I just received an order I placed with Nate Zowada (he made me a shorty!) and am looking forward to the first shave with her.

But the blade being made of 01 steel has me wondering if it will conflict with my laziness.


Usually I will oil a blade only if I know I am not going to be using it for a couple of weeks... but with the 01 steel, it sounds like I need to oil it after each shave.

Do you guys who use 01 steel blades oil after every shave? Or can you get away with cleaning and drying between shaves? I typically shave about twice a week if that matters.

Thanks!
Aldwyn
