So i had this razor, the white one from a while back on this thread.

Didn't really warrant a full strip down and handsanding, it was a collarless pinning and i wasn't happy with my previous results handsanding round etching, so i decided at the urging of one of the guys to just give it a good rub with autsol (maas equivalent for the uk). i did need to get in around the pivot though as it was a bit gunky. But doing this before with another razor resulted in gunky autosol remnant coming out for a month or so.

So anyways, i got a toothbrush, got down into the pivot with the edge of the brush (it had washers so a little space to work with) then cleaned it up as best i could with a q tip and tissue paper. Result? gunky autsol remnant..

However i realised i had WD40 and the little straw that comes with it. I realised if i gave the razor a good working around the pivot, it would really grind the autsol in and clean the gunk up, then i blasted it thru the straw with the WD40. Next result? No gunky autosol remnant

Only down side is it hasn't left much friction in the friction washers so the blade is er.. very smooth in opening and closing lol guess that'll wear off
