Bruce, I always keep a towel on hand to dry/wipe my hand after I take the lather off the blade. By the time I switch hands my hands are not slippery at all.

Make a pass, turn on the water, rinse, water off, repeat.
I do the rinse under water followed by towel...nothing like warm razor and warm lather!
I wipe it on the towel I used as a hot towel. The barbers here use a damp sponge.
#2 to clean the razor. I hold the blade it under hot/warm running water keeps the blade nice and warm and
then strike the spine on the edge of the faucet to remove the excess water..................
ok I was just kidding about the striking the spine on the faucet :p
#6 and actually am surprised how rare an approach this seems to be around here. Good for you James!
Cheers,

I also rinse it off after each pass under the water...i don't use a towell until the end..after that i always use my wifes blowdrier to dry the blade,scales,tang....it ends up boiling hot ...no rusting after this , ever.
I do a number 3 and then a number 1. Just because I don't like to launder towels with hairy lather on them.
Are you? I need to keep my fingers dry and not slippery because I use the other hand to pull the skin taut. So #6 would for me involve drying my fingers afterwards and that takes time. My wife already feels I take ages in the bathroom so any time saved is welcome.
