Are there any products good for getting rid of soap scum on a razor?

[samhain666]

As it was mentioned here before: toothpaste and soft toothbrush. It works wonders!

Best product by far is "Scrubbing Bubbles". You just spray it on and leave it for about 20 seconds and wash away any soap scum.
It works better than anything else I tried.

I found you can avoid this daily build up by just taking an extra few seconds after the shave and rinse under the faucet with a quick flick and wipe. Ive used this with all my 25+ razors. Problem solved. Of course if you just like to tinker and have a reason to clean then see above advice. NOTE: I always remove the blade and set it aside and/or disassemble if a 2 or 3 piece razor.

agree.

But some razor designs have too many nooks & crannies & protrusions & etc.
especially on the underside of the base plate,
that it makes it difficult to keep clean.

In my small collection,

the easiest to keep clean = RazoRock Lupo, Muhel Rocca
somewhere in the middle = Karve Christopher Bradley OC plate, Merkur Progress
the hardest to keep clean = Fatip LoStorto Originale

I use an inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner with a few drops of Dawn dish soap in the water.

I also toss my razor and blade in my “Amazon” ultrasonic cleaner after every use. I own it, it’s handy, so why not use it ever day. No film or sticky functions on my razors. I also feel it helps keep my blades tuned up by ridding them of any broken and hanging micro serrations. Kinda like hanging chads on a Florida ballot.

OK but daily rinses right after the shave with any style razor still helps avoid letting the soap dry and start a build up in those nooks. I have three piece razors and I quickly disassemble rinse and wipe down in less than a minute which includes rinsing the blade and putting it aside. You can still do a full cleaning at the end of the week or whenever.

I soak it in full-strength dish soap. Makes the razor look new.
