First Timer Needing Tips on Cleaning my Duck
Howdy fellas,
As some of you may have seen in another thread, I managed to pick up my very first straight razor yesterday at an estate sale. My question to you boys is, what are the necessary steps for a thorough cleaning?
Should I try to disassemble the razor and just clean it with a mild detergent and nylon brush like I do old pocket knives, or should I not try to take it apart and just use hot soapy water and a small nylon brush/toothbrush? Also, what do most of y'all use on the blade as far as polishing it, and the other embellisments on the scales?
Here is a picture of the razor I picked up yesterday...sorry for the poor quality pics.
