Some of the instructions for vintage razors say to loosen the blade after using the razor, presumably to aid in drying. Other vintage razor instructions are silent on this issue.
My guess is loosening the head is for the older razors when carbon steel blades that were prone to rust were the norm. But in more recent years with modern stainless blades there is no need to loosen the head and the blade to facilitate drying.
What is your take on all this? Or is it better to always loosen the razor's head after use to aid in getting ride of residual moisture, regardless of the type of blade?
