Thread: How did my blade rust?

I just started three months ago but within the first week of having my dovo I had some water spots on it.

I have since stopped rinsing the blade, and I try my best to limit its exposure to water. I shave after I get out of the shower with either a towel around my waist or in my bath robe, so I always dry my hands off completely before I pick up my razor. Prevents rust and makes things a little safer with a more secure grip. I also keep a washcloth to wipe the blade on, just lightly enough to take the bulk of the lather off but avoid the edge. I also always put my razor down on a dry area of the washcloth to make sure I dont bump the blade on something less forgiving like my countertop or faucet!

Generally I give my blades a good wipe down with mineral oil and I try to rub it in pretty well with my fingers all over. Mineral oil is actually a good polishing agent so it keeps my blades nice and clean!
