I pull the shaver out, shake off the excess and then shave my whole face without cleaning the blade. I use a cattle soap for the shaving cream.

Smooth shave and I get @50+ shaves per blade. Bought 4 blades last spring and am getting near the end of blade #4 -but I only have to shave every other day.
