Cream or sugar?  I thought we were talking about olive oil, not coffee!? 

But I'll take alittle of both I guess.

Well at least I now know I'm not alone.  I do like Tank.  I oil my head down after a hot shower.  Then I give it a light(very light) lather of shaving gel.  I go over my head once.  Then I hit it with more EVO and go against the grain.  I use it on my head and face.  I used to have bad razor burn on my neck.  That is now gone.  I never thought of putting the razor in the oil for a soak.  I'll have to try that.

After reading these posts with great interest I have decided to try the olive oil storage trick! I usually pay around 8 pounds (12 dollars) for 4 Gillette fusion blades, so anyway I save a few pennies is very welcome, I normally get 1 headshave and 3 to 4 face shaves from one blade. Am starting a new blade today and will be rinsing it properly after use and storing it in olive oil, i will report back accordingly................................

Just an update.  I'm still doing the olive oil storage.  I've learned even a few more tricks that I will now share. 


- I just put a few centimeters of olive oil in a small coffee cup that is stored on a high shelf in my shower.   This keeps the oil from getting water in it during the shower.   
- I rinse well, then blow any moisture out of the razor head (usually some water flies out), then
- I let the razor sit and dry during my post shower routine to fully dry it out before putting it back in the oil.
