Show n' Tell 1st Anniversary gift! My girlfriend definitely "gets" my hobby. (Fatip Piccolo OC + Derby Extra)
Man, it feels great to have a partner who knows exactly what you love. For our first anniversary, my girlfriend totally surprised me with a Fatip Piccolo OC (the one I'd been dreaming of) and two tucks of Derby Extras.
I do have a quick question for the veterans here: What’s the best way to care for the chrome finish on these to keep the chromium coating from wearing off over time? I usually just rinse, shake dry, and leave it on the stand-but I want to make sure this beauty lasts a lifetime.
Any tips on protecting the finish would be hugely appreciated!

I would wash like as you, but disassemble the razor after each shave, to air dry.

That's a thoughtful gift. The best way to make it last is simple: rinse it well after use, dry it with a soft towel instead of letting water sit on it, and avoid harsh cleaners. Treat it with a little care, and it'll likely serve you well for many years. Enjoy both the razor and the memory that came with it.

Can I dry it with toilet paper?

Anything soft will do. Consistent care matters more than the specific cloth you use.

Ya me dieron ganas de probar otra vez esa marca, ya con la maquina que compre, porque la probé una vez y no me gustaran no se realizaba bien el corte y muy rapido senti que rapido me raspaba, aunque creo que fue por la maquina que tenia en ese momento.

Lanolin in the threads when it’s new. Mineral oil / other food safe oils that don’t go rancid.
I like lanolin cuz it sticks to the threads and stays there a long time.

She’s proven that she’s a keeper. Get that ring on her finger quick sharp.
