    I rinse in warm water, wipe it down with a microfiber cloth, let it dry while I clean up my gear and get dressed. Finally I put a light coat of camelia oil on it.
    Ditto here. Exactly my procedure. I strop only before I shave, not immediately after.

    Since all of my 30 razors are in my rotation I have to put camellia oil on them after washing in hot water and drying with toilet paper and then a light touch of the air dryer, just to get sure no drop of water remains between the blade and the scales. But most of them have horn, bone or ivory scales. With celluloid scales you must be careful with the heath provided by the air dryer, it can ruin the scales.

    Rinse and wipe off the soap residue, wipe with alcohol and let dry, then a light coating of mineral oil. If I get water in the pivot I use a can of compressed air to blow it dry.

    I spray mine down with a light mist of alcohol-mineral oil mix.

    rinse with warm water after use & apply mineral oil on the blade, I keep rotating my razor to rest the edges. and I only strop before shaving. so far its working fine, the sharp edges last much longer
