Hello everyone,

Quick question: is there a "right way" to wipe the lather off the blade while shaving. Is it possible to dull the blade if you aren't careful and is it ok to wipe it off a regular towel or is it better to use a special type of cloth.

As I've read the forum,it may be better to wipe than rinse in order to avoid water that wouldn't dry well or hitting the sink and the undesirable consequences it'll lead to. Is there a fundamental reason why rinsing would be better than wiping?

Thanks for help! After a month of reading the forum, my first straight shave will be tomorrow. Wish me luck!
