What's the best way to get rid of tape off a razors spine so u dont ruin a hone
Take the old piece of tape off the spine, wrap it around your forefinger sticky side out and dab at the residue Bingo!!!! problem solved

I have always used lighter fluid to get the tape residue off because it works well and I have it. Nail polish remover, like lighter fluid, contains naphtha and that will cut the glue residue easily. I've heard alcohol works too but don't use your Woodford Reserve. :gl:
GooGone works wonders.

That's what I usually do too.Quote:

googone is your best bet, it doesnt have a high alcohol content if any, which im sure your razor will thank you for :)
You guys can use whatever you want,,,
But here is a small warning take it for what it's worth :)
Strong Chemicals + Razor scales = Potential Disaster..
Not always, not every time, but when you melt the pivot outta a prize razor your going to wish you hadn't used the chemicals..
Naptha = Bad
Acetone ie: fingernail polish = really bad
Goo Gone = I haven't ever read the label
Basically anything that makes yer head jerk back when you smell it, I would keep away from razor scales...
Again they are your razors so you do what you want :)
Just leave the tape on the razor; after about a year of honing, you can turn a half hollow into a full wedge ! :beer2:Quote:

Agreed but I will use Hopps #9 (i have tons) on a cotton cloth VERY sparingly over just the spine when needed.Quote:
