Thread: Razor storage question

since I wipe lather off of my razors instead of rinseing them off I just dip them in alcohol before putting them in a drawer in the bedroom....and of course I lock the bedroom door to keep them out of reach of neices and nephiews when they're around....thankfully mine is old enough to know not to mess with them. gotta remember storage is sometimes about protecting more than just the razor

I have been told by the barber if a razor not going to be used for a long time, apperantly applying vaseline or another brand of petroleum jelly is better then oil, but never tried it.

I live in a very humid climate, so after shaving I heat the blade (cutting length only) with hot tap water, dry with towell and strop and apply a very thin coat of baby ( or mineral) oil and leave open until later. My home is not child proof so if you have children, trust me and don"t leave a razor out where it can be found by little John, Fred, or their friends. Years ago, my Son, when he was about eight years old, got hold of one of my good razors and thought it would make a great tool for his model airplane project. Trashed blade, and one lucky boy (no injurys) except for his backside. Best Regards, wildhog

Ouch Hog!! Lucky kid.....

I have a routine I use every shave. I wash it in hot water, dry with TP, inside and out of the scales and blade. I apply a light coat of mineral oil, roll it up ever so nicely in a large kerchief (scarf) and stash it in my sock drawer in the bedroom. I do this same thing every night.
