I prefer towels, sponges mildew and harbor bacteria too easily
Never had mine mildew so I suspect that a sponge used once a day when shaving, rinsed out, wrung out and allowed to thoroughly dry over night represents a low threat of bacterial infection. For sure if you allow your sponges to be constantly wet they will mildew and bread bacteria. Trick is not to allow that to happen.

I'm a sponge guy also...never chipped a blade and never any 'pivot rust issues' from running the blade under water. As far as mildew... :thinking: ... I thought that was what Lysol was for? :D

Starting out.. But I'm a fan of rinsing and using a towel for now...
I keep one at the bottom of the sink for wiping and another to the right on the counter for set my razor down if needed.. And a third is on standby to dry hands as needed as well.. I'm a bit finicky, so this is working for me so far...
I might look into a sponge down the road... As I like the idea of not running the blade under the water near the tap, or sink that I might bang it on...
