"I actually like the WD-40 smell, but with all respect to Mr. Grepper, will politely decline the proposal." 
Oh come on KG! Don’t you know that women find the aroma of a man that smells like a machine shop extremely exciting? Being a medical professional I’m sure you know that the main ingredient in WD-40 is actually a pheromone.
Humor aside, could it really be true simply blowing a razor dry could quadruple its useful life? If that is the case it could actually have significant environmental ramifications:
“The Environmental Protection Agency once estimated that 2 billion razors and refill blades get tossed out in the U.S. each year.“

Canned compressed air is not only really wimpy but also expensive. I previously searched for refillable compressed air bottles to keep my computer clean only to find they cost a lot of $$$ for a good one. However, there appears to be a very reasonably priced alternative that is much more powerful than a hair dryer and you don’t need to wait for it to heat up. Who knows, maybe your wife might even find it works better than a hair dryer:

After each use, I do a perfunctory rinsing of the disposable razor. Even so, when I dissembled one that had become too dull to shave with I found it was gunked up with disgusting soap and crud. I don’t know how this shave cream and crud affects blade longevity, but maybe a strong blow might be effective in removing a lot of the crud that was not rinsed away.
I can’t remember what is is right now but I think there is some product that you place your razor in after using it that submerses the head in a cleaning solution that claims to increase sharpness longevity
