    Default razor rest

    What is the minimum time a razor should rest befor it is used again?

    How long is a piece of rope?

    I'm a noob myself, but I'm fairly certain it has less to do with time and more to do with stropping and honing.

    That's a great answer. I really think as long as you take care to strop properly, you should be good to go.

    24 hrs is a wives tale.

    You should let it rest until you need to shave.

    I have read that the razor had to have some time to reset itself after use or it would cause micro fractures on the edge that couldn’t be seen but could be felt. For that reason men used to have a set of them. Is it a wives tale?

    this question has been asked many times and no definite answer exists. Some people use the same razor day after day with no ill effects. Others prefer to rotate thru different razors.

    Try both ways and see what you think.
