How to store razors so they don't smell.
To store your razor so it doesn't smell, first make sure you clean the blade after each use. Rinse the razor with warm water and use soap to remove any remaining cream or bristles that may be stuck to it.
After cleaning your razor, make sure you dry it completely before storing it again. Moisture can cause the growth of bacteria which produces unpleasant odors.
Additionally, store the razor in a dry place protected from moisture. Do not leave the razor submerged in water or exposed to high humidity for long periods of time.
If possible, you can also use a mild disinfectant such as isopropyl alcohol to clean your razor periodically, especially if you share it with other people. This can help reduce bacteria that can cause unpleasant odors.
