No! This is how it should be done@Satanfriendly I'm with you 100%!
Everything pat dried straight after I use it during a shave (pre shave cream, soap/cream). Then at the end of the shave, once I've rubbed in the excess lather into my face, the brush is rinsed out and dried (as best I can before it being sat at a open window), bowl is rinsed out and dried, razor is stripped then washed and dried (including the blade).
After that my face is given a cold wash to remove the lather and finally aftershave and balm thrown on. Then they too are pat dried on the outside.
It's all down to the detail!
Do I have a problem? [emoji848]
Gordy you wash and dry the blade?
Then the answer is yes I think you have a problem
For me the only thing that gets a regular thorough clean is the brush, razor gets rinsed and when I change blade I will wipe it over, maybe every six months I will give it a deep clean. Brush gets rinsed and sits out to dry. Every couple of months I will borax and or vinegar soak.
A small long haired artists paint brush sorts out the injectors for cleaning and dry.I know I have a problem as I've always been obsessive about cleaning equipment post shave. For my razors (excepting injectors) I dismantle the razor, clean and dry the blade. For Gem blades I put them back in the sleeves, and for AC blades, I wrap in paper. For both, I dot the number of shaves with a marker.
It's this OCD behaviour that originally put me off injectors. For the two I have, I carefully dry as best I can.
For brushes, I thoroughly rinse, shake and towel dry. Then stand upright to dry.
Save me somebody.

My fellow OCD sufferers, I am actually quite amazed how many go through much the same cleaning ritual. @GordyC nice to read of someone else who uses the remaining lather for a final wash. I always think it would be a shame to simply flush it all down the plug hole.
And then at the end of it all everything goes back in to its corresponding box so as to not upset the feng shui and Mrs Satanfriendly at the same time.
