Usually I just loosen my Gamechanger and rinse it after shaving. I give it a more thorough cleaning whenever I change blades, once a week or so.
Do you take apart your razor to clean it after every shave?
- Thread starter shave/brush
- Start date
I flip mine too.
@Ztob ...me, too!
What oil do you use for your razors? Mineral?
Same here, and that is once a week. More than enough IMO
Once a week when I change the blade, I brush with shower soap scum remover.
Rinse and towel dry. Feather blades recommend no drying between shaves.
I’ve used mineral, beard oil, or pre shave oil all successfully for short term protection.
I disassemble the razor, remove the blade, rinse and dry the disassembled razor, reassemble the razor without the blade, and put the razor away. I rinse a used blade and put it on a magnet.
At someone's suggestion, I forget who, I bought some blank magnetic business cards and I keep blades with life still in them in between two of them. The small business cards are in the basket array on the back of our master bedroom door, all out of site when the door is open. I keep all the shaving gear there except the razors and brushed I'm rotating at any given time.
Not my DE razors. Loosen, rinse, tighten, shake, dry the outside.
I do take apart my Feather and Kai AC barber razors, rinse and dry. There's a lot more little crevices inside to trap water and gunk.

Thoroughly rinse, disassemble and then dry the razor and blade. Reassemble and it's ready for the next day.
You know how some blades have a bit of adhesive on them? To stick to the wrapper, Astra SP's in this case. What's a better way to clean said adhesive off of one's razor? There's still some left after a gentle scrubbing with soapy fingers.
No. I wipe the handle and head on a towel, but only dissemble and clean the whole thing every third or fourth use, when I can huge out the blade.
At the end of the day, these are functional items that ought to be able to put up with some use. I don’t molly-coddle them.

I have a small Mason jar of mineral turpentine and just hang the blade in it for a few minutes using a piece of wire (same arrangement as for hanging stuff in electroplating solution). Worked on every blade I have tried so far with adhesive on it.
I heat water for my Scuttle with an immersable heating element. I dip the new blade in the hot water and it comes right off. No, worries.

I take apart, clean, dry, and reassemble. I leave the blade outside in my medicine cabinet. I am new to serious wet shaving so it could just be fresh commitment before the excitement wares off.
I thought that is the proper way of doing it; rinsing the razor and blade and wipe them dry with a towel.
