Thread: what do you do with your razor between passes?

So here's an interesting question for everyone. What do you do with your razor while you clean up, towel off your soap, and reaaply your hot water between passes? Do you lay it on the counter blade open ( this has seemed like a bad idea to me), do you close it even though its wet knowing that you'll clean it later, or do you have a little spot that you put it to keep it out of the way and not have to close it?

I just lay it on the counter, blade open. Sometimes I jam it into my cheek just to keep myself awake.

I lay it open on my shave towel, clean my face with water and relather.

I send it out to get me a hot cup of coffee...

I put it on a towel or face cloth open on the counter, though I may have to try jamming it into my cheek after reading ace's post

I have a spot for it. I stand it up open.

My normal routine is to rinse the blade under warm water and towel it off to get the suds and whisker off it while shaving. In between passes, I leave it open and set it down on the counter top.

I drape a folded damp washcloth over the edge of the basin and wipe the blade on that to remove lather and stubble. While rinsing or re-lathering, I close to about 45 degrees and set it on the counter.

I dry it and put it down on the counter open.
