Razor blades can use longer

Razor blades (wet razors) of my partner, especially those with the 5 blades, which are particularly close together, often end up after a few shaves as unusable in the trash. With this tip you can use it longer:

Allegedly pulls, tugs and plucks, because the blades are not cut properly. The cause is easy to explain. Because simple rinsing and cleaning with hot water during and after shaving is not enough. Whiskers, skin fat and shaving foam "clog" the narrow spaces between the blades to the back and then nothing goes with this razor blade!

However, if you place such blades regularly in a small glass or vessel with good dishwashing liquid and hot water, these blockages will dissolve automatically without damaging the blades mechanically. After a short exposure time and then rinsed under hot water, the gaps in the corners are free again and you can use the razor blades longer.

That saves money - because the spare blades are not cheap.
