Removing lather from a blade
Everyone has a different method for removing lather from a blade while shaving. After I dinged my blade under a tap many years ago I switched to using a damp sponge to remove the lather while shaving.
The sponge sits in an old soap dish and is easy to clean. Needs replacing about once a year. That is the lather from a 4 pass shave on it.
Do you have a method other than the old rinse it off under the tap?

I fill the sink up all the way, and dip... while trying to avoid the tap like the plague.

I use my brush to wipe lather off and use it again.

That would shorten your brush pretty quick. Originally Posted by Kees

I just rinse it off. But then I have 45cm clearance under the faucet, so I'm not really worried about dinging the blade on it.

I do the same and pat the blade on a towel to remove water droplets. Originally Posted by dimab

I leave the water trickling and just rinse.
Plenty of room with my sink setup.

I simply use a small towel. Years ago I seem to remember reading a book about shaving with a straight razor, and I think that they called it a "sweet rag" or some such thing?? I can't remember for sure. I may just be getting senile.
