Drying the Straight Razor
Has anyone heard of the following drying method for a straight razor:
After cleaning and wiping the blade dry, the blade could be placed in a cup of powder (baby, talc) for a few minutes to absorb excess moisture. The blade is then removed, dusted off, oiled and stored.
Comments on this? If makes some sense; I do not think there could be any damage to a blade. Stropping before the next shave should remove any excess powder, but I had not seen this before.
Thanks for your input.
