Thread: Rust Prevention

Oil will trap water under it so if its not completely dry...

I also use a Flower Frog. A tip I got from Outback years ago. It will hold a razor by the tail partially open up on a shelf for over night or longer before I can put it way. Its dry for sure then.
T.P. is great for moisture. It grabs the water much faster so you are sure its dry. I use it to test for plumbing leaks too. If you can wipe a bit of T.P. on a fitting after the water is on and come away dry you know its not leaking.

I used to oil my blades before putting them away, but got annoyed having to clean them up before shaving with them. Now I just leave the razor open leaning with the spine and toe against the razor coffin until dry and then put them away.

If I’ve been sloppy during the shave, I run some toilet paper between the scales to make sure all the moisture and any excess lather have been removed and that the pivot end is dry and clean.

That's a good tip. I use one of these nifty razor stands which works well also.


These things are good but only on a case by case basis...


...as some Razors won't balance on them correctly or if the pivot pin is loose then the edge wants to rest on the plastic which is never a good thing.
