I clean my razor well, submerge it in alcohol, then pop the button my toothbrush while it's on the stand. Makes the alcohol vibrate a little, whether that part actually helps or not no idea. Submerging my cleaned blades in alcohol keeps the blade fresh much longer. Using a nice shaving soap also helps in my opinion. I only buy blades maybe twice a year.
My father uses a vintage razor, nice way of saying real old military looking thing, the kind with a single double edged blade that'll cut a person up haha. I picked up these tricks from him. Only tried the razor twice when I was a lad, didn't take long for me to learn my lesson there.
