Weekly Roundup – Immortal Razor Blade Edition
Did you know that you can make a razor blade last forever (more or less) by simply cleaning/drying it thoroughly after you use it? Strange but true. Apparently it’s the oxidation that makes a blade go dull, as opposed to the actual act of shaving, so…
If you keep it clean and dry between uses, your razor blade will last for a long, long time. In fact, I used the same blade from Halloween through this past weekend, and I would’ve been able to keep it going considerably longer if I hadn’t gotten lazy and let it sit around wet during our recent travels.
Anyway, enough bathroom trivia for now…

A trick I use to keep my disposable razor blades sharp is to let the blade soak in rubbing alcohol overnight. Kills germs and keeps blades sharp.
