Not really Neal, my mind is still open to review evidence.

In todays litigious society it wouldn't surprise me one whit if it was to prevent lawsuits. Or even perform multiple functions with the one statement.

Maybe someone needs to make a safety razor blade, that is one that won't cut and is completely unuseable. Whoops! Sorry, it slipped my mind, one manufacturer already does... Dorco. :lol:

Not a crappy blade, just ahead of their time!

Not just our Country SD, I've seen the same information printed in other languages for distribution in various parts of the World.

FWIW, I found this on Amazon under product description for Shark blades:

"SHARK SUPER CHROME DOUBLE EDGE RAZOR BLADES deliver a smooth, luxurious and comfortable shave. These premium blades are used barbers and wet shavers alike. Manufactured in an ISO2000 Facility, these blades are world reknown for their high quality. Care should be taken to not wipe this blade dry after use. Instead, simply shake the razor dry to avoid removal of the blade's coating. We are sure you will be thrilled with these blades.. "

Certainly Neal but amazon does not constitute an authority. The warning against wiping coated blades also appears on uncoated, stainless, carbon, and blades made of steel of any description.

The point is they don't want you to handle it without saying outright the things can be dangerous.

Fine. You will not wipe your blade to avoid cuts, I will not wipe my blade to avoid removing the coating. That way we're both happy.

Cheers,

Oh I would wipe blades if that were needed to keep them clean but for me rinsing works well enough.

I rinse my blades taking care not to touch the edges. I also rinse and crud on the razor top.

When handling any razor or blade I keep my hands completely dry. Mischances do happen over a period of time, I once dropped a razor when a fully grown Boxer came bounding into the bathroom while I was shaving and smacked into my knee. Delightful child but clumsy.

I do draw the line at gloves though.

Hah! Another use for the myriad of cans of canned air I have sitting around the house. Only Squire could think of uses like this for canned air!
