Thread: Old english razor - scale restoring

Hello!
I just aquired an fredrik reynolds old english razor with yellow bone scales.
I purchased some neatsfoot-oil and sanded the scales and soaked them. However, there apper to be some dirt lodged in the cracks witch the neatsfootoil is suppose to seal.
Is there a neat trick to get this dirt out or do i need to sand it down a bit and learn to live with the dirt thats left deeper in the scales?
It dosn't really show in this pic but all the more brown looking areas are cracks filled with dirt..
Any help would be greatley appreciated.
