Strop a little before shave, strop a lot after shave. Clean razor. Make sure any and all moisture is removed. Slip of toilet paper between the scales to trap any water there. A small drop or two of mineral oil to coat the blade, especially at the pivot point. Wipe off excess till next use.
Remember, if you don't find it among the posts, ask, ask, ask. There is always an answer out there.
Shave safely
