I had another of my bright ideas...

I filled a container with 70% isopropyl alcohol, figuring that dropping my straight in there while taking time to do other post-shave cleanup would prevent water spots, micro-rust, etc., until I could get to it.

Tried it today. Had three razors I'm trying to get exactly the right edge on, and wanted to try all three for cutiing ability.

They were in the alcohol maybe 30 minutes. The plastic scales on two of them now look as if they were somewhat damaged. Kind of rough, "blistered" look. The third, with buffalo horn scales, is fine.

First, does isopropyl do this? I searched the forum with no results addressing this. Anyone out there with experience being as (possibly) stupid as I am?

Assuming the scales did get compromised, what is the solution? I understand MAAS polishes plastic scales pretty well. Other suggestions?
