Like many others here, I occasionally use an alum block to clean up the stray weeper (or ten). Does the block need to be stored in certain conditions or sanitized with anything between uses? On a related note, I sanitize my blades and razor head by soaking them in rubbing alcohol before and after each shave. I air-dry them vigorously by shaking and leave the dismantled head and blade to dry on a piece of tissue. Do I have to worry about the blade oxidizing? Can I leave the blade in alcohol between shaves or is this a bad idea? I really don't feel like springing for Barbasol, as I've finally - if temporarily - quelled all of my ADs.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
