Hey Alcohol-Dippers...

[roboboticus]

What do you keep alcohol in for dipping your razor in after the shave is over? Or perhaps you keep it in a spray bottle or atomizer?
I've been using a small stainless steel container, but I'd like to switch to something softer (plastic, probably) so I can stop worrying about scratching/denting up my razors. Just looking for ideas!

I use a spray bottle, works well for me.

I use a little Orange Round Ceramic Dish Almost same size as The Razor head, fits perfect,
Actually i got this Ceramic Round Dish From Red Lobster Rest. when the waiter put it in the doggy bag i pointed it out to him and he said dint worry about it, I knew one day it would come in Handy

Small 4 oz rubbermaid container. The ones I got are square shaped and came in a bigger set. They aint good for much due to their small size but have a lid and a fatboy head fits fine.

I use an (empty) Tucks Pads plastic round container. Great for dipping 3 piece, TTOs and blades. Perfect depth and width...the container that is.

Canning jar.

I used to use a jar but I wanted to prevent the watering down of the alcohol so I use a spray and wipe it down now.

+ 1 and in my opinion...a spray bottle is the best way to go.

It works like a charm for me and i get better shaves the next day. It dries properly so you don't get any rust on the blade or razor itself. Also I have no razor burn or even in grown hairs from this. I just started doing this process the last two weeks and it works wonders for me!

I never use it, I rinse clean and dry after every shave.

An empty glass spice jar works great for me.

This. Works perfectly. BTW - only use it to dry carbon steel blades. Do not use for stainless.

Wow, so couple of more questions:
1. Is this done to help the razor dry and prevent rust? --- Alcohol will evaporate more quickly than water.
2. Do you need to let it sit in the alcohol or just dip it?

I just dip/swish the head or a few seconds then hang it to dry.
