DE Maintenance

[cbiscuit]

I got my new razor! It's a Weber with Bulldog. Wasn't sure about the Bulldog since I was using a Parker 99R, but it's nice. Anyway, the Parker being a TTO, all I did was open the doors and let it sit/air dry. Now, with the 3-piece Weber, what do I need to do to maintain it? Do I leave until I change blades then let it dry whilst apart? Thanks!

That is what I do. Leave blade in, and, when I change blades (about every 3 shaves) take apart and rinse then air dry. If any soap scum buildup, I give it a gentle scrub with soft toothbrush and Scrubbing Bubbles or Barkeeper's Friend.

i always take out the blade and dry it along with my Weber DLC. Takes no time whatsoever.

+1 (until I get lazier, or pushed for time) I always take the blade out and wipe down everything.
