Hi everyone. I picked up a wade and butcher a few weeks ago and put it in the pile of razors requiring work, this afternoon I picked it back up. The scales were shot so I quickly freed the blade and went doing some light cleaning, I never do anything too harsh until I see what I am working with, anyway I found the (faint)"commerce freedom & strength united " etching.

So now for my questions: what is everyone's favorite cleaning solvent? Does anyone like keeping the faint etchings or do you prefer to take it off?
