Thread: Sponge in the sink for wiping blade

just a clean-up hint....

with the sponge, every time you use it, clean it and then stick it in the microwave for a couple of min. this will help to disinfect the sponge but the heat won't harm the sponge at all.

Sounds familiar.

And the old adage about terrorism applies. You have to be lucky all the time, the sink/faucet only has to be lucky once.

Cool beans. Thanks.

I lay a folded towel out with a paper towel across it and wipe my blades on a dry surface, peper towel just keeps the towel from getting nasty. As a barber we were trained to wipe on a dry terry towel.

Don't understand. You don't just use that soap for the other side of your face??

I put four pieces of toilet paper next to the sink (one per pass + one for a final clean up ).

Wipe on the paper then throw away once done.

I touch wood haven't dinged a blade since doing this & don't gunk up the sink/plumbing.

Nice tip thanks for shareing

I haven't tried using a towel or sponge to wipe the razor on yet but after seeing a few folks say it helps keeping water out of the pin area, it occurred to me this morning that I tend to get lather in the hing area while I'm shaving and have to rinse it out with water any way. Still trying to learn how to use a straight.
