Sticky lube strip on Mach 3

Discussion in 'Cartridge Razors' started by GoldenHandTheJust, Dec 17, 2017.

  1. I opened a new pack of my Mach 3 cartridges and shaved using one. Whenever I shave with a cartridge I always run the razor head through water, blow on it and then pat it on a towel to dry it completely.
    Today while I was patting it on the towel, the razor didn't come of clean. It momentarily stuck to the towel. On further inspection, it was sticky to feel when I put my finger on it.
    Is it normal? It has never happened before with any cartridge (I've used the Gillette Vector, the Mach 3 and the Mach 3 Turbo carts till date)

    I operate under the assumption that all lube strips are tacky until they dry out. I wouldn't run a towel or anything else over them.
