So it is closer to Christmas and the beginning of my straight razor shaving. I have read much information, touched base with a helpful mentor (thanks greatly), and should have a strop, razor, and samples of Caties bubbles to begin my journey.

So to my question,

I had been reading about rust and water on the blade and in the scales and noticed some just wipe shave debris on a towel. I am thinking of going with this method. The problem is...


Do I have to rinse or wet my face between lathers?

Currently I am rinsing between passes and using my DE. I have no idea where to move the straight razor, towel, etc and the items in order for them to keep any resemblance of dryness in my small shaving den (half-bathroom 4X5). In other words it will be a pain to do so and knowing me if the items are in there they WILL get splashed.


What are your thoughts??
