  Prolonged Use Technique is Quick and Simple

  I use disposable razors and realize that this is not good for the environment, however I have come up with a technique to preserve the razor for multiple uses that I find quite simple to perform: After finishing with the shave I take an old toothbrush  (I keep it in the holder with the other current brush allowing for effortless access) and use it to remove ALL the stubble and bile from between and around the blade.  Next I rinse the blade and then DRY it.  Gillette and pals have come up with an alloy compound that quickly dulls if moisture is allowed to sit on the straight edge of the razor.  After drying I then administer the coup de grace:  I take the hair dryer, turn it to high heat and hold it to the razor for about 5-10 seconds, effectively evaporating the micro-drops.  Once you get it down this technique only takes about 30 seconds of your precious morning time.  No sh*t.  I go through about 30 razors a year, saving landfill space as well as my wallet.  Tell 'em you heard it here first.On Umbra on shaving posted 4 years, 5 months ago 28 Responses
