<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nMaking sure that your safety razor is clean is one of the easiest ways to ensure it won\u2019t corrode and allow you to use it for many years. By taking a minute after each shave to clean your razor, you won\u2019t need to do any drastic or intense cleaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colander acts as a buffer so that the razor doesn\u2019t sit on the metal at the bottom of the pot. Let the razor sit in the boiling water for 5-10 minutes.
