The seventh shave on this razor felt like the first one. Once again, I don't miss having a stropped edge.. Another very enjoyable shave today.

You're not afraid of the blade not being completely dry without stropping?

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No. I dry it after shaving using two different microfiber towels, and leave it open on a dry towel for hours before closing it later in the day.
