Thanked: 346Of course Joe's not here to speak for himself, but as I recall he would give his razors 3 or 4 swipes on the swaty ever couple of weeks, and that had kept them running without a trip to the norton for over a year. I think he mentioned that he did this as soon as he noticed any drop in sharpness, and that this could involve a mid-shave refresh.

Not that I have any experiance degreasing hones, but I use Simple Green for almost everything, and it works great. Removing oil stains from concrete, degreasing an engine- even diluted washing windows.
I started useing it when a gunsmith tipped me off- it works great for getting off old gun oil and powder residue.... it's also non toxic. Real stubborn stuff has needed a soak for a while, but never more than 20 minutes or so at maximum. I think the orange box store sells it, as well as walmarx.

Thanked: 9Puff,
I meant that I know Joe used only Swaty to refresh for a long time, but did not remember him doing this mid-shave (as Tony mentioned) - Michael just clarified this.
I know verry well that Scott is the person who goes so long with only a strop - this is my next objective: to develop a similar skill
Cheers
Ivo
