I've been using a few different methods to keep lather off the blade.

When I started out I used to wipe the blade on a hand towel but I got tired of throwing the damn things in the laundry all the time and I also don't really like overcomplicating things with more gear.

After that I rinsed the blade under the faucet for a couple years, the downside to this is that it promotes rust so I tried using a sponge to wipe it on but I didn't like it(mainly for the same reasons that I didn't like using the hand towel).

After giving up the sponges I just started wiping the blade on the fleshy part of my palm which is what I'm currently doing and it works great, though it's a little risky.

I've been thinking about looking for one of those little rubber thingies that they made for this purpose since you'd just have to rinse it a bit(maybe clean it more thouroughly a couple times a year) and you could keep it in the bathroom cupboard.
