Feather, GSB and Polsilver and great blades with phenomenenominal wax dots.
Do you clean the wax off new blades?

In my opinion, it annoys everyone when there is wax dots on a new knife or sword. I personally hate them very much, but after reading this mini guide, I think that now I will have no problems in order to get rid of such an unpleasant spot. In general, thank you very much.
In my experience, the blades with wax on em have been more consistent and given me the best shaves compared to blades without any wax on em.
If I were to clean the wax off of every blade I wouldn't have any fingers.
Just remind that some plastics Or glues degrade in contact with alcohols. So dunkin your partly plastic razor might be bad long term.
GSBs have the wax dots. And I've found them to be my favorite go to blade. So I'll happily ignore the slight inconvenience of having to deal with a little bit of wax that wipes right off my razor with a little water and buffing of the towel.
What wax dots?
The only problem the wax causes me is getting the dang paper off the blade. After that I pay no attention to it.
Yes, I've never had a dud Astra SP yet.
I assume the point of it is to stop the blade jiggling around in the wrapper during transit, and blunting itself.
They're not dots. They're blobs.
And they are not wax. They're blobs of gel.
I have also learned that apparently there is a wrong way to make a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich also! I was in my 40's when I learned that one. LOL
I never clean them off and I'm still alive typing this.
I never messed with it. Usually dissapates with hot water rinse. Water heater is set pretty high.
I thought you were supposed to put it in with the cap securely fastened and with the seat backs and tray tables in their upright locked position
I can’t be bothered removing the wax dots off the DE blades, otherwise, stop whinging just loaded the blade and shave.
Don't affect the shave so I don't bother to.
Easier to clean any wax that accumulates on the razor head than to remove it from individual blades.
I don't clean off the wax, since I religiously clean the razors I used for the week with a baking soda paste and a toothbrush every Sunday night.
