Hey folks,

How do you clean the shave soap scum off of your razor?

It can be quite tricky, especially in knurling.

I’ve tried using an old toothbrush with vinegar, but this isn’t very effective. I’ve wondered if Isopropyl would work, or if it’s too harsh.

Cheers

I mostly just rinse mine when I’m done so there hasn’t ever really been soap scum stuck to it.
I’ve used IPA to clean/disinfect, it’s fine.
If in doubt, test it on a small spot first.
