They do make an air freshener smells like No. 9

My garage has always scented of No. 9 solvent. Keep an 8 inch canning type jar with clasp lid and rubber gasket filled with No.9 for soaking gun barrels in. Toss em in and let them soak for a couple of days, then scrub and clean.

When I met my wife, she said she liked the smell of No.9, the first time she walked into the garage. That put a big check mark in the plus column for her. That was over 36 years ago.

Oh, man, I freaking LOVE the smell of Hoppe's...

Every time I get home from the range, I always set about cleaning my toys. Partly because of the smell of the No. 9 and partly because it's pretty much alone time, it always tends to be a Zen like experience.

As it pertains to razors, I dunno how much I'd trust it (the No. 9 solvent anyway, the oil might be okay).

I'd imagine Glen's advice would be pretty sound on this one...
