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

Like others said dish soap and toothbrush after every shave but for your current dilemma you should add what underlying metal and finish it has to get the answer you're looking for
