you can extend cartridge blade life by drying them after shaving. water rusts and dulls the edge. i shake the razor, then do several strokes across my towel to dry the blades. you’ll get more life out of them, lots depending on how you personally shave.

Back when safety razors were made entirely of metal, there used to be covered mugs with notched lids. My dad used one to store his razor with the blade immersed in a Barbisol-like liquid. Modern multi-blade razors might not take the soaking as well - too much plastic.
