After shaving, squirt some baby oil on your razor..... Unbelievable how much longer your blades with last!

Thought I'd pass this one along! :lingsrock:

Is that a blade razor or an electric shaver?

That's because it's not the hair which dulls the blade's edge but micro-spots of rust. The oil prevents oxidisation.

Good explanation. I never knew that. My blades (single - double edged safety razor) usually last about a week.

Honestly, I've easily doubled the life of my blades... Just squirt some baby oil on it after your shower, still amazes me.

In my opinion, that is just it.... I would imagine everyone leaves it in the shower. Who removes their razor from th shower, after they shower, honestly? Suirt some baby oil on it and call it a night. :D

I always use electric, saves time since 90% of the time I shave while driving to work. Multi-tasking traffic.
