All you guys that shave often heres a tip- I read an article about razor baldes and this guy says that when you get thru shaving, rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly- get this, he uses a hair dryer to get it really dry- says that your beard does not dull the blades, but under a microscope you can see fine particles of rust on the blades that cause small pits and by thoroughly drying, a blade will last a long time. He states that he averages 6 mo. per blade shaving every day and they stay sharp. Guys like Dbasketman probably can go 2 yrs. Just a little benefit from the O F Gs!!BAYOU BANDIT
