People try all kinds of tricks to make razor blades last
longer, including storing them in oil or even placing them
on a prism to channel pyramid power into the blade. However
here is a simple technique that seems to work: dry the blade
after use. According to the Chicago Tribune, the concept is
this: razor blade dullness stems more from oxidation and
microscopic rusting, rather than from contact with whiskers.
Water that sits on blades between shaves causes the oxidation.
Corrosion can cause metal on the blade to flake off and the
edge to become blunted and jagged. That results in blades
pulling and tearing hairs instead of cleanly slicing through
them.

By blotting his blades on a towel after use, someone extended
the use of a blade from ten days to five months.

Or you can also ?rinse the razor in water, shake excess
droplets, dip it in alcohol, give it a good swirl (it really
does clean far more thoroughly than water), then shake out
and prop it in its holder. The alcohol drives the water out
and then quickly evaporates.?

Heat a bowl of water and lemon slices in your microwave for
30 seconds to a minute; then wipe out the oven. Stains will
be easier to remove and old food odors neutralized.
