Hygiene has you replacing blades? I replaced mine when they're blunt. I can't see any contamination on my blades after a week of use

I wash the razor after usage lol

I can't see anything wrong either. I wash them after. It's just what I've read. Don't remember if from some shaving guide or the blade manufacturer. You can't see bacteria.

Yeah you need to wash your razor after shaving to remove the hair and soap, but I'm reading the above as something more than that, like removing the blade from the razor to clean it

Perhaps I'm spoilt by a modern razor, back when I used a 1960s Gillette I did have to open the blade holder to rinse it

Besides not knowing exactly how contaminated the blade got, it's better to replace it a bit in advance before it gets blunt. But if you use the same brand you would know when that moment approaches, sure enough

It's highly polished smooth steel, it's not the sort of surface that holds contamination
