Ever since I started watching your videos and made the step to the safety razor community, I became 'addicted' to shaving, Geo. And the oil tip is one that I'm going to use now. Keep up the good work and greetings from Belgium.

It's kinda weird, lol, I too, find I look forward to shaving now! I never used to do that, but I do now and enjoy trying new blades out, perfecting my technique and love the whole double edged shaving culture. It's like an art now, not a chore for me.

Hey Geo, great video as always brother. I'd love to see you expand the maintenance side and maybe restore a beat-up or old razor showing us how to remove things like rust spots or polishing dull looking metalwork? Just a thought. Anyhoo...HAGS HAGD!

@klthomas817 11 месяцев назад

After each shave, I disassemble the razor and then water rinse first, after which I spray the razor and blade with 90% alcohol which disinfects along with prevents oxidation on the razor blade.

@Art-is-craft 8 месяцев назад

Running hot water on razor and regular rising is enough to disinfect it. Keeping it clean from visible grime is an important factor to ensure there is not a surface that allows bacteria to culture. Hot water is the key.

@mohamednagi1693 11 месяцев назад

A question please : how do you feel about keeping the whole -or even the upper part - of the razor including the blade inside a jar of alcohol ? Some said that it keeps the blade sharp for a longer time as well as the disinfectant effect . Thanks

@s.garabet1677 11 месяцев назад

Depending on how humid it is, there's a rusting possibility. Unfortunately, I ended up with some rust on both my 59 Fatboy and 34c. I love the 34c but it's a bit of a pain to get the sides even. Any good recommendations for something similar with a butterfly twist loading?

@Art-is-craft 8 месяцев назад

@@s.garabet1677 With the 34c when setting the blade in you can turn it upside down and tighten to play with the alignment. You can also just play it by eye. If it is not aligned just loosen and wiggle the head. The blade does not have to be perfectly aligned just good enough to work.

@guyincognito7165 11 месяцев назад

What about adjustable razors and ones that are TTO? Anything special to maintain them?

@Art-is-craft 8 месяцев назад

Just keep the head and blade areas clean. Hot water is one of the best options to use. Oil the mechanisms every now and then to reduce wear and to add a protective layer against oxidation.

Should I dry the blades with a paper towel after use?

No. That is not needed. You risk in doing that would be adding material to the blade area that would act as a means for bacterial to for. Just use hot water to sterilise it. Then allow it to air dry.

Luckily I only shave twice a week, so I can make a good razor last about a month, with proper care. I love wet shaving, but I dont wanna make a hobby of it.
