I will preface this post by stating that I am a newbie in the DE game. I have 4 shaves under my belt. Here is my setup :
- RazoRock Mission
- Astra SP (fresh blade this morning)
- Omega boar brush
- Proraso red soap
- Pinaud Clubman
This morning I had my first nick-free shave, and it was a pleasant experience. I am still working on getting my lather where it needs to be, and perhaps that contributes to my problem (it is pastier and not as fluffy as it should be). Here's what's happening...
As I am shaving, I take a couple short WTG stroke, flip the razor over, a couple more, then rinse the razor off under running water. Repeat until done. Even with the new blade today, I notice that I gradually have a buildup of film between the blade and the lower plate (if that's what it's called, the plate closest to the handle). The soap and hair rinses away, but this film builds up. After I was done, I took the blade out, wiped it off on a bath towel, and it looks better, but if I don't do that (which I didn't on my first blade), after 2 shaves, there's a definite buildup, which no doubt is going to compromise the performance.
So, what am I doing wrong?

Buildup on blade?
