Thread: Prep for my new vintage razor!

I give the blade a good rubbing with a 70% isopropyl alcohol soaked cloth, which is intermediate level disinfectant and cleans up any dirt, oil, grime or light rust on the blade, cleaning and preparing the surface for the next step. I soak the razor in barbicide for roughly 10 minutes to zap away anything that might be left. Rinse well with warm water, let dry, followed by a light wipe with pure mineral oil to seal the steel and protect the now clean blade.

Hope this helps!
