What is it? Looks like the things I use to feed my cats with.
How and with what do you wipe your razor during shaving?

Rinse under hot water, edge down, toe down. If needed wipe with a single piece of toilet paper pinched between two fingers. 2 years at this and still haven't cut myself.
Exactly how I run it with edge down, toe down.
Though no use of a sponge, referencing chim's vid, this gent also has mad skills.

I am a BIG sponge in the sink guy also.
I just use a dry, small white dish/barbers towel (I have 6 of them). When I am done, I turn the dirty side in, pitch it in the hamper, and they get washed with the whites (using some bleach).
right on, exactly what I do
I also strongly agree with the excellant scag315 post above.
I rinse toe and edge down under hot running water. If the lather is slow to come off the blade, it may be too dry and need rehydration and remixing. Don't hit the razor edge against anything or get water between the scales and in the pivot. I wipe with bathroom tissue or a dry towel after use, air dry, strop, and wipe carbon steel with an oily patch before storage.
Wiping lather off on a sponge or folded towel using a stropping edge trailing stroke is also popular.
Never put away a razor that may have gotten water between the scales before 1st being certain that the water is all gone and oiling the carbon steel. Stains and rust are heart breaking, especially on a new or high value razor.

Rinse with the water in the sink that's keeping my lather warm. When finished I rinse under running water. never had a problem...
same here. i use my thump on the back side. somewhat like a stropping x motion. hard to explain. but better for me than any towel

No palm stroppers here?
After honing, sometimes, but not to remove lather though.
I'm afraid of hitting my wedding ring. No way am I trying it left-handed!
I never wipe the blade off. Simply run it under hot water and that should be enough to move away the soap/stubble build up
It's a soft rubber dish u wipe the edge along the rim and the lather collects in the dish. Great invention
Hot water, then small towel one the side of the sink to wipe the water off the razor, then continue with the shave....

Does it have some name a person could look up on Amazon or eBay? Or does someone like WCS carry them?
My finger. I know it's not the safest option, but that's what I use.
Hot running water. I like wet lather so it washes right off.
Bar towel here, draped over my off-hand. Edge cleaned using a light lateral pass on the slightly raised middle finger with a slight stropping motion.
