Some cleaning tips for: Cartridge Razor blades
= The blades will stay sharp much longer.
I clean my cartarage razor blade/blades with
Isopropanol, also named as: isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or: 2-propanol.
You can find
Isopropanol easy. It's main usage is for cleaning electronics.
Isopropanol is an alcohol that's chemically pure (>99.5%) with no additives. You need pure alcohol for cleaning your blades.
What I do is that I buy a flask of Isopropanol, and then I fill a little spray bottle, so I do not waste to much of it, each time the cleaning procedure happens (shaving every day).
This is the setup:

What I do is that during the shave, I make sure that I constantly are running through the blades with warm water, so no hair will get stuck in between the blades. This is not much of a problem, if you shave every day in the shower.
I use hair monster's methodology for shaving in post #1 in this thread.
After the shave I'm running through the blade with warm water (almost hot) and then cold water to get rid of the stuck hairs.
After that I
spray the blades down with Isopropanol, and then I put my
Cartarage Razor in a glass on top of the the bathroom cabinet, so It will dry up quickly.
Keeping the blades clean, is an important aspect of keeping them sharp.
The best thing would be to use a safty razor (cheeper and sharper blades). But I have tried that in the past, and that was not a comfortable experience.
If you shave every day
down there with this cleaning procedure afterwards, your blades will last much longer. The blades are not cheep, so it's a good thing they last longer. You don't need to spray a lot of it, just a few sprays are enough.
Kind regards!
