Thread: stubbley scales

had a great shave but later noticed there are bits of stubble on the inside of my scales, I thought about running water through them but decided it would be difficult to dry and consequently rust the blade. Does anybody have any tips? all replies greatly appreciated.

I just fold over some tissue paper and run it up through the opening in the scales. I dry between the scales on all my razors after I shave doing this. Seems to work well!

You can keep the razor open over the side of a glass, handle inside, blade outside (or vice versa), until you feel it's dry.

Good day,

good tips thank you I shall definitely try these

When I'm finished shaving, I usually rinse the whole razor... scales and all.

I concentrate my towel drying efforts on the blade and pivot area.

After I apply some light oil to the blade and pivot, I use a dish drying rack and I simply 'balance' the razor via the pivot on the rack to dry. When I come in from work, the razor is dry. I haven't had any problems with this method.

Someone posted the use of a hair dryer a while back. I thought that was a novel idea. I tried it a few times and it does work ... although I did feel a little silly while in process.

I've also just noticed the blade doesn't close dead centre in the scales and if I'm not careful will catch, any ideas?
