I’ve seen it mentioned already but wanted to emphasize because of how crazy I found it to be.

The main cause of dulling is the blade rusting. I began giving my razors a shake, a wipe or two on a towel and then blowing on them once. Takes about 20 seconds or less. The lifespan of my razors increased DRAMATICALLY.
