so I just purchased a new revisor straight razor, and going through the paperwork they send you with the razor, they say to never blow dry the razor...
Well, I've been blowdrying my razors for many years now and wondering if I am somehow damaging my razors (instructions say to only dry by hand and also to never put in hot water). Has anyone ever heard of this? I am wondering if this could be messing with the temper (I asked a knife expert friend of mine and he said he seriously doubts that the temper on a razor could be damaged with a blow dryer but he wasn't sure).
What would be the reasoning behind them saying this?
Anybody out there ever think that you may have damaged your straight doing any of the above? I often use hot water to clean off the razor (its on the left side of the sink and I am right handed) so maybe I am doubly damaging my razors.
Looking forward to hearing others think.
Regards
Joe
