Ah many responses again. Nothing like having our own way of doing things is there?

I rinse under hot water and then wipe the excess on the towel in a stropping motion.

At the end of the shave I wipe the whole blade except the edge on both sides very well gripping the blade3 with the towel from around the spine. I then wipe the whloe blade including the edge with rubbing alcohol and strop.
