When I was in the army in 68 at FT. Bragg, I got a severe facial infection. A special forces medic gave me antibiotic cream and said it was caused by not thoroughly cleaning my razor. Break it down, clean it and dry like Geo said and you will be surprised how the irritation will disappear. Amazing how much bacteria accumulates on a razor.

Very good information. Since I buy vintage, I soak in anti bacterial dish soap before I shave and after I shave . I bought a razor years ago and it had dried gunk, old soap on the razor. I soaked it, squirted hydrogen peroxide on it and dried it and shaved. No problem after sanitizing it

Good tips. I keep a microfibre cloth in the bedroom, so I rinse in the bathroom, then dump the blade in the bedroom before giving the razor a final brush (just using an old baby hairbrush) then use the microfibre cloth to dry the razor, pop the blade back and leave it ready - in the bedroom where it's dry.

Geo, when you clean the scales on your straight razor, make sure the spine is facing your hand not the blade. Learned this the hard way when the razor closed on my fingers.

@Flixo79 7 лет назад

I let the razor (with the blade) sit in barbicide while i i do my aftershave routine (alumn block, rinse, aftershave, cleaning the brush and the lather bowl) then give it a rinse after running water and dry it with my blue stripe barbertowel. then i leave it disassembled for 24 hrs. i also let the shaving soap dry for 24 hrs before closing the lid (the ones that are in a tub)... might seem to be a bit nerdy, but it works for me ;-) thank you for your great and informative videos, they are very appreciated. please keep up the good work.

When your brush loses its flexibility, becomes stiff-time to clean and condition it.

@Alex00789 7 лет назад

Do you clean the safety razor with the scrubbing brushe after every shave? How often do you replace the scrubbing brush?

@geofatboy 7 лет назад

I don't get crazy with it, I clean my razor once a week when I remove the blade and replace it. But if you have sensitive skin or irritation, you should do it more often. When the bristles wear off the brush its time for a new one!

@andresebastianmoreno 7 лет назад

Not to be overly picky, but double edge safety razor blades tend to rust if they are not dried completely. Unless you are going to blow dry your blade, I lay my rinsed blade flat on a clean dry towel in one hand, fold the towel over it, and press the two sides of the towel directly against it with both hands on either side. Direct up and down pressure, no lateral movement. I then put it on my magnet to air-dry. Try not to get any water on the surface of your magnet, putting a blade against it traps the water and it won't evaporate, ergo, rusted blade. Putting your blade back in the razor before BOTH are completely dry will lead to a rusted blade. If you are wanting, or needing, to be really cheap on blades (like you're down to your last blade and need to shave, can't make it to the store, etc.) stropping the blade against a taut smooth cloth 5-6 strokes each of the four blade sides so you are brushing the microscopic metal fibers back TOWARDS the edge of the blade helps keep the blade sharp. (You're not pushing the edge of the blade into the cloth, you are going the other direction.) I find doing this can help squeeze another shave or two out of a dulling blade.

@geofatboy 7 лет назад

Thanks for the great tips Andre!

@EddieLlamas 6 лет назад

I would say never slide your finger paraller to the blade like here. Wipe the oil away from the blade like you did on the other side. But all of this should be as obvious as doing the dishes..

@mister-Kayne 3 года назад

That is too much work to keep your razor clean and dry. I rinse with water then shake two remove any water. Then finally blow so that no residue is left on the razor

You should do this to your razor at least once a week to prevent irritation and infection. When you change the blade is a good time to do it.

@3daypriest 5 лет назад

geofatboy ... Agree. And it depends on how expensive your equipment is and how long you want it to last. I loosen the head and run it under water. Shake it, squirt 3ml or so of isopropyl alcohol, shake it again and done.
