If the scales are horn or bone Neets Foot Oil works real good but just apply a little at a tiime. I rubbed the Neets on the 'rubber' scales and polished them with the plastic polish and the sticky surgace went away. If you really want to use the barbercide just put the blade in and hang the str8 over the edge with the scales on the outside. Seems like I make a similar comment here on SRP not too long ago. Good luck.
p.s. Barbercide will also remove gold wash so don't put any blades in that have any plating. Not sure what would happen to painted blades.
