Extending the Life of Razor Blades

Rust on a razor blade dulls it. So how do you prevent it and make those expensive razor heads last longer? By drying it. Make it a point to shake off your razor, blot it on a towel and store it in a less humid place (outside of the bathroom or in a ziploc bag (only if you make sure it is dry first!).

Need some research to convince you? Using a fan to blow dry a razor after each shave resulted in doubled life expectancy for a disposable razor head.

  1. I had heard this before, so I started drying my razor and storing it away from the tub when not in use. It does seem to prolong the life of the blade.
