I had some extra time today and decided to polish my razors, they came out pretty good except how the heck do you get the pivot area really clean! there is a buildup of gunk between the scales and blade by the pin but how do you get it out without taking the scales off? I tried flushing it out with some light weight oil and just worked the blade back and forth, seemed to get most of it but what else can it do? thanks
Try using some dental floss and a cleaner/polisher with it.
That sould do it.
I've also used lightweight (real) pipe cleaners with polish. Not the polyester craft ones, mind you- the real, absorbent deal.
Hmm. Time for a bowl of Va/Per...
Ah ha! Dental floss! Good idea
Good idea! And the Va/Per sounds good as well...I've got a ton of Esoterica Dorchester that may need to be paid a visit soon...GOD I love perique...Quote:

Not to sound stupid what is va/per? A cleaning solution?
I normally use dental floss for such work, but I found one particular dental floss that looks as it was designed to clean the dirt around the pin. It's Thornton 3 in 1 floss (Thornton 3in1 floss - From the inventors and original manufacturers of Superfloss.). It has a nice spongy filament brush which I load with the polish compound when I clean my pins. For my teeth I use the floss without the polishing compound.:)
Va/per is not intended for boxers..... it's a pipe tobacco blend, Virginia with Perique. Recommendable for non-sportsmen. Latakia is nice too. Gave that hobby up approx 4 years ago, though.Quote:

Thanks for all the input!
