    Default Daily Razor care

    Just wondering how you care for your razors on a daily basis and after each shave?

    Hey buddy how ya doin'? Usually just a good wipe down to remove any moisture, soap scum and whiskers, a few nice words before I put 'er away.

    Basically I just rinse in warm water, wipe it down and let it dry for a bit.
    Then a good stropping on linen and leather and away in to the box it goes

    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.

    Well, in my case it's rinse, wipe, strop (5 times on linen, 5 times on leather - just to clean the blade a bit). No oil. Then into a small box, where I also keep two small bags of silica gel (desiccant). Occasionally, I wipe them with a bit of alcohol.

    Hope it helps!

    I’m pretty much the same, rinse, wipe, and 15-20 trips on the strop….but then I wipe it down with a SILICON GUN TOWEL. A lot less hassle than the oil, and from what I’ve heard, does just as good a job of preventing rust.

    Of course, YMMV.

    I just wipe the blade and also make sure there is no water inside the scales, I do not oil the blade if the razor is in the rotation; if not, just a light coat of mineral oil. HOG

    rinse in STEAMING hot tap water, wipe dry, leave open for a bit, and then put it away if it is in rotation. If it won't be used for awhile, then I use mineral oil. Best, wildhog
