Thread: Ralf Aust vs Filarmonica vs Dorko vs Other vintages.

Thank you both. Having to hone my razors is not a problem for me, I have to do it once in a while so I can wait the right moment to do it and I like to do it. The problem is when I'm working hard (programming) and my beard start to tingle and I'd like to shave but do not have much time to do it or my brain is too focused and I just forget about the whole thing until I have to cut the beard with paper scisors just to avoid the tingling and nothing more (I work at home so I don't care very much how it looks). So by complementing the carbon steel Ralf Aust (7/8 double hollow, it's very nice) with another stailess steel razor at least I won't have to thoroughly dry, oil and save the razor which is the annoying part for me when I'm too busy and can easily forget to properly do it on time. If I leave the shaving kit next to the toothbrush, and I don't have to remove the oil, and then dry it, re-oil it and save in a drawer in my room, chances are I'll use it more. Don't know exactly why but my CS razor starts to rust very easily so I have to take a lot of care to avoid it. As for the stropping I do a few passes in the palm of my hand so it's not very much of a problem I think. Maybe I'll get a strop too, I don't think it's going to be problem to use it.

Also I'm buying a Wahl cordless detailer so if I'm too focused in my work I'll just remove the whole beard with that. If I have a little more time I'll finish with the stainless steel razor, this combination at least will save me from having to leather twice, I have three soaps and all of them dry very fast. In cases where I have more time I'll just do the entire shave with either the stainless steel or the carbon steel razor. Don't know if this is going to work, never used a clipper/trimmer before. I can leave feedback if anybody is interested.

Btw, I know stainless steel is not 100% rust resistant. Can I leave it in the bathroom or it will rust? Maybe inside the original box or a bigger one with silica gel?
