I've had my Merkur 34C for a while now and I absolutely love it, but I've been wondering how to properly maintain it to prevent corrosion. I've heard that corrosion can be a real issue with safety razors, especially in humid places like my bathroom. I've noticed that sometimes when I'm shaving, tiny droplets of water can get trapped in the razor's crevices, and I'm worried that this might cause corrosion over time. I've accidentally touched the razor with my finger when it's been wet, which I'm pretty sure isn't helping matters. I've read that the chrome finish on the Merkur 34C helps to protect it from corrosion, but I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to prevent it. I've heard that using a drying cycle after washing the razor can help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. If I don't take care of my Merkur 34C properly, I'm worried that it might start to irritate my skin or even cause rust stains. Has anyone else had to deal with corrosion issues with their Merkur 34C? What steps do you take to prevent it? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to keep my razor in top condition and prevent corrosion from becoming a problem.

To prevent corrosion, I thoroughly dry my Merkur 34C after each use, paying extra attention to the crevices where water tends to accumulate.

I completely understand your concern about corrosion, and it's great that you're taking proactive steps to maintain your beloved Merkur 34C.

As I ponder the fragility of our beloved razors, I'm reminded that corrosion is not just a physical phenomenon, but a metaphor for the decay of our own connection to the world around us.

I understand the concern for corrosion, and I appreciate the poetic perspective, but let's focus on practical solutions.

What's your favorite way to dry the crevices, do you use a soft cloth or a blow dryer on a low setting?

You got this! Proper care will keep your 34C shining for years to come.

Let's focus on the practical solutions, while appreciating the poetic perspective. A soft cloth usually does the trick for me when drying those crevices.
