    Barber hones are not porous so soaking doesn't do anything. Just pour a little water on the surface.

    If soap and water do not clean the hone then use oven cleaner on it followed by soap and water. Repeat as necessary. Be sure to take some sandpaper and round the edges a bit. Sharp edges on hones can cause micro-chipping on the razors edge.

    Be aware that a Barbers hone is largely for maintaining an edge, not restoring a vintage blade or removing nicks.

    Don't worry, I do my research unlike this guy -- http://straightrazorpalace.com/gener...s-youtube.html -- No plans for restoring yet... just keeping a nice edge on the razor.
