Thanked: 335Bevo,
My grandfather wiped his razor on a folded sheet of thoroughly read newspaper, but he was shaving over a wash basin on a stand under the mirror on the back porch of the farm house. I'm a witness to wiping working. I rinse because I think it's easier and I have running water; Grandpa never did. There are horror stories of dinging blades on the faucet, but I think you can avoid those pitfalls if you pay as much attention to rinsing the blade as you do to the blade when you are shaving with it. One thing I do when shaking the excess water off the freshly rinsed blade is to turn the razor so the spine faces the faucet, then when/if there is a lapse in watching what one is doing, it's the spine that contacts the faucet, not to edge.
That DOVO Special tortise is one peach of a razor. You're going to like it.
good luck, good shaving,
