I leave my razor tightened up to rinse as needed throughout my shave. After my shave, I disassemble my razor, rinse each piece thoroughly and dry.Do most people loosen the handle when they rinse the razor during the shave? I never knew I was supposed to do this but maybe it rinses more thoroughly... I usually turn the razor in all directions under running water and it usually rinses out whiskers and soap adequate enough for my second pass.
Since I always take my razor apart and rinse every part under water, I always notice a layer of whiskers/soap residue that accumulated on the blade under the top cap that doesn't get rinsed so maybe by loosening the handle during rinsing, this build up will never occur during the shave?
