why are the lubricating strips on shaving razors AFTER the blades?

569 views

If the lubricating strips are meant to help the blades move over your skin more easily, then why are they placed after the blades? I’ve noticed this with multiple brands – including some major ones. Am I missing something or is this a crappy design thing?

I was told once that if I’m using a disposable razor, to dry it thoroughly after use, by swiping with a towel and leaving the safety cap off for awhile, to help prevent microscopic rust, as rust accounts for most of the loss of sharpness. It seems I can get much more use from a disposable that way. Placebo, or science?
