Re: Making razor blades last a lot longer..................

Pretty interesting.

Couple of years ago I went back to a traditional double-edged razor and blades.

I found YT vids of people recommending you strop them. You can do this on leather, like old-fashioned cut-throats, but also just in the palm of your hand (not as dangerous as it sounds!).

I think it helps a bit.

But this drying idea sounds pretty good (better than stropping). Think I will give it a try.

And all adds to the ritual, which is almost the most important part of shaving.

Given time constraints and having to choose between shaving and breakfast, I think I might actually choose shaving... Tweet
