Loosen the head of the razor, rinse under warm water, set it aside while I clean up the brush, etc. dip head with razor in rubbing alcohol and then store it. Today I did this with a Personna Red and so far I have gotten six great shaves on my wiry beard.

If using my Timeless, I remove the blade, wipe the razor down and replace the blade FLIPPING the blade upside down. Meaning the side facing up is now facing down. If using a TTO razor, I remove the blade, shake or blow the excess water off (I don't wipe the open barn doors) and then replace the FLIPPED blade.
Also, when replacing the blade, I close the razor and then back off 1/4 turn to take the tension off of the blade.
I believe flipping extends the life of the blade, slightly and gives a better smoother shave. No stats to back that up just 30 years of anecdotal evidence.

With DE TTO razors I just open the doors and rinse with water. Followed by a spritz from a spray bottle with 91% isopropyl alcohol. With a SE I pull the blade and rinse both sides off followed by spritz of alcohol. Then prop blade up to air dry. I never try to wipe a blade dry for fear of cutting myself or dulling the blades edge.
