    I have found flannel and fleece wears down blades quickly. There are ones made especially for this purpose. I also have used blades resharpened professionally ($1.00 each). They seem to hold their cutting edge better. It can be compared to buying a knife and having it honed.

    I have found in the Florida dankness, that when I reshapen blades, they get tiny rust spots after a couple weeks. on the flat area, not the cutting edge.
