I get a straight razor shave on rare occasion and the barber who does it pointed out it's not the shaving/whiskers that do the damage it's the rust. So for the past year or so I dry my razor after shaving with a standard hair dryer. Give me a month of trying this and I guarantee you'll notice a huge difference and your blades will last MUCH longer.
I just saved you a lot of money. I'm going to pull this thread back open in a month to read all the thanks I'm given
We can figure out where to meet for you to buy me a beer for this advise
Ok, your Mrs' will laugh at you a bit but I promise it will work for you.
