Save $ on razor blades.

A friend told me about this a few months ago and it is working for me. I use Fusion blades and it works on them. When you are done shaving, rinse the blade and then hit it for about a minute with the hair dryer until the blades are dry. Stops the corrosion and the blades last a long time.

Wipe the blades on a bath towel to get big drops and then the most basic and important thing is to STORE the razor outside the steamy, humid bathroom, in a nice dry, sunny spot. It makes blades last twice as long at least for Sensor blades if you do not leave them in the bathroom when not in use.

Definitely do NOT store your new blades in the medicine cabinet.

Also, don't keep pills in the "medicine" cabinet. Moisture also harms pills, prescription or not.
