That's really unfortunate. I would suggest you use a dry towel to wipe the lather off your blade between strokes, the way a barber does. That way, your edge only approaches the faucet one time -- when you rinse the blade just prior to oiling it for storage.

Microfiber towels are dirt cheap. I found them at BJ's, 40 towels for $14.99.
Namaste,
