Should you leave your blade in your razor?

Should you leave your blade in your razor?

Yes.

I'm lazy, but blades need to dry fully between shaves. My solution has always been to leave the blade in the head and loosen the handle a turn or so. The blade acts like a spring and forces the head open, allowing air to enter and water to exit which prevents the blade from rusting. The full disassembly and drying method is probably ideal, but not necessary.

I live in tropical environment. Very warm and humid. I leave my blades in, but only after fully disassembling, patting dry and even blowing a bit to get rid of excess water from the pats and blade, before reassembling with blade. I don’t dare do it otherwise. Also, leaving the blade out just seems dangerous.

I leave the blades in. The only razor I ever had any trouble with was my Timeless. It kept getting bad tea stains. But cleaned up easily

I'm guessing they won't cut without the blade so leave it in while shaving. ?

Ha, it won't rust without it either. LOL

Oh, and all joking aside I leave a blade in a razor until it's smoked Except for carbon steel Pal blades. Never had any issues with rust or tea staining but a humid day here is 20% relative humidity. I suppose that makes a difference.

I used to leave the blade in the razor between shaves when I started out a few years ago. Better judgement has occurred since then. Nowadays, I place it back in its wrapper with the ends still open to dry. That then gets stored in my CC shave bowl in the drawer until next time. LOL
