Razor Care

I take my razor apart after every shave, rinse well in warm water and dry with a microfiber towel. I give the blade a quick rinse and hang it on a magnet strip attached to my shave cabinet

I do the same routine as shavemd. I disassemble the razor after every shave, hot water rinse, dry with microfiber. When it's time to change the blade, I scrub with dish soap and an old toothbrush to get all the soap scum off.

I recently bought a Rex Ambassador 2-piece design (I think it is really 8 small pieces if I recall correctly). For this razor I may have to dunk the razor in hot water with dish soap for 10 minutes to clean the small nooks and crannies and then scrub with a toothbrush once it starts to get build up.

Hmmm. Magnet strip.

I'll look for one of those plastic coated magnetic strips could not find. And thinking about razor care this morning, what about getting the internal parts wet with an adjustable razor like getting the whole thing wet or not, I don't want to rust it up inside

My wife found the magnetic tape at a craft store.

It depens. If I'm in no hurry I like to disassemble, remove blade, rinse everything well and scrub the any soap rest off with an old toothbrush. The blade is removed, rinsed, and the water stains are blown away with my own lungs. Everything is put back in place that. If I'm running a bit short on time I just loosen the razor, rinse under the tap, and leave next to the sink so gravity takes care of whatever rest of water is left.

I must be the odd man out because I almost never clean my razors. I also only rotate between 2 or 3 razors as well.

When the blade is done, whether 3 days or three weeks, I bin the blade and bathe the razor in scrubbing bubbles to get rid of soap haze. Nothing more.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I am going to make a couple of changes on my end. I'm going to do a consistent alcohol dip post rinse. I'll pickup a more suitable container to manage this. For me, this will be quicker than full disassembly and I think it will offer similar benefit to manually drying it with a towel. Probably not quite as good but better than what I currently do. I will also fully clean my razors a bit more often than I currently do.

I used to disassemble my razor after every shave, wipe down the razor and pat the blade dry. Now I just wipe down the razor and leave the blade in. When I change the blade, I use a soft toothbrush and some dish-washing liquid to clean the razor -- whether it needs it or not. More often than not, it doesn't need it. Most razors are hardy things.
