Maintenance Calendar
Routine maintenance improves hygiene, performance, and gear lifespan.
After every shave
- Rinse razor thoroughly
- Rinse brush until water runs clear
- Let all tools air dry fully
The weekly and monthly items below are inspection reminders, not mandatory cleaning intervals. Clean as needed according to manufacturer instructions; do not wring brushes or enclose them while damp.
Weekly
- Disassemble and clean razor threads
- Remove soap and hard-water residue
- Check brush shape and odor
Monthly

- Update blade stock and usage records
Straight razor users

Small consistent care beats rare heavy cleaning.
