    Clean razor and blade after each shave.

    With the DE, I loosen head, rinse through with cold water, shake excess water off and place on shelf (still with loose head). Clean with an old toothbrush once a week (maybe). Straights, after rinsing with very hot water, are very carefully dried with tissue and left open in another room to dry...

    Shaving Frequency

    Used to shave every day without fail, but now I tend to let it go for two or three days, and often longer. It's very satisfying to mow down four or five days worth of whiskers with a straight and take my time about it.
