Things I have learned since switching:

  • Razors rust because they lose their oil coating with use. If you want them to last longer, clean them and apply more oil/keep them dry - (if your lazy just dunk it in a cup of mineral oil when not in use)

    • If you can't be bothered, at least get ALL the hair and junk off the razor so there isn't a catchment for water on the blade itself.
  • Running a razor backwards across your arm (don't cut yourself) is a nifty way to strop it and keep the edge clean

  • Skin in the shower needs no soap/lotion/lather

  • With adjustable razors close it down all the way for the "safest" cut, then go up slowly if you need a more aggressive angle (4 / 10 works fine for me)

  • Just buy the handle/razor, don't go all out on the accessories.
