Never. Soft water. All I do is rinse. They are all shiny and deposit free.
Me too!I’m jealous.

Ditto.I rinse my razor off under running water after every use. Every time I change the blade I give the razor a thorough scrubbing down with a toothbrush and alcohol, then polish it up with soft towel.
I don't believe you. Not from I see in your SOTD posts!Me too!
I have extremely hard water, which I doctor with Citric Acid.I don't believe you. Not from what I see in your SOTD posts!
I meant this part haha "All I do is rinse".
That's all I would do if I had that magical "soft water."I meant this part haha "All I do is rinse".
I do about the same thing. I take apart my razor while changing the blade. I clean the razor with a toothbrush under running water. The Merkur 37C razor has hard-to-reach places on the bottom plate. I use a toothpick there. After washing, I wipe the razor with a paper towel and put it in the closet.I only take apart a razor for a thorough clean when I change the blade. That's typically after 3 or 4 shaves. Otherwise it will get a rinse under the cold tap after every shave, then left to dry with the handle loosened slightly.
A thorough clean in my book is a squirt of bathroom cleaner and a scrub with an old toothbrush to remove any limescale. My tap water is very hard.
OkieStubbleWhen we say; “ take apart the razor”. Does this mean a 3 piece razor?
If it does; for the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many think this to be a tedious chore or a time consuming operation that one wouldn’t want to quickly clean their razor after every shave?
I simply keep a small misting spray type bottle of alcohol in the medicine cabinet right above the bathroom sink.
After every shave, I very easily, very quickly unscrew the head from the handle, let the head, baseplate and blade easily fall apart on the vanity next to my sink ; and then just spray a couple of quick fine misting blasts of alcohol from that bottle onto the razors parts and blade.
It immediately, in seconds, displaces all water, instantly dissolves all leftover soap, hard water deposits and any other grime, instantly! No scrubbing, no time wasted? I then simply and easily dry the parts of the razor off with my bath towel, pat dry the blade with a piece of toilet paper that isn’t even 3 feet away; and then put it all back together and it’s as clean and disinfected as it was when it was new?
Again, not hours? And not even minutes? Literally takes just seconds? I take care of my tools and my tools take care of me.
