Letting the edge rest? Geez, about as much mileage in that as the tooth fairy and santa claus.

Once I woke up one of my razors before it was fully rested and it screamed the entire time I shaved with it. YMMV

That's nothing Bill - I have to keep my very large collection in a sound-proofed room, as the snoring kept my wife and me awake of a night-time. Originally Posted by WW243

Just a thought - it didn't have eyes and could see what it was shaving, did it Bill? Originally Posted by WW243

Seriously, after wiping down and leaving to air in a warm place, blade open, for twenty or thirty minutes I give mine 20 laps on a cotton-canvas strop after shaving to dry it thoroughly, and a few laps on an oily strop I have to coat the bevel.
Overkill, I know, but if you have ever opened a razor to find tell-tale creeping lines of rust on it that you put away a while back, you will know why I do it.

Neil

It's a metaphor cobber all this resting and waking up stuff.....and, I'll have you know, a drug addled Tarot card reader who once caught me without clothing referred to me as an Adonis. So Neil, your covert suggestion (of my ugly mug) is just derailing the thread and disregarding the real life concerns of the OP. When we have new members crying out in the dark (and refusing to use the search box) have some compassion! For Christ's sake man, use your wisdom not your wit.

How rude of you, Bill, and completely unprovoked! Whats more I do believe that the drunken Tarot card reader must have been using braille tarot cards...
As you know, I have no time for people who cant spare the time to help themselves...
Regards,
Neil
