If you have very hard water, rinsing and wiping often just isn't enough, and even Dawn will be challenged.
Nuts. Better call the Culligan man...

(4) Use toothpaste with a toothbrush to give a good scrub and then rinse, scrub under warm with a toothbrush followed by wipe clean.Here are the before and after pictures. What I have tried so far:
(1) soak in laundry rinse for a few hours then scrub with ultra soft tooth brush (my only option)
(2) soak in hot water for a few hours (water cools off obviously) then scrub with same ultra soft toothbrush
(3) use alcohol wipe to try and scrape off some of the difficult bits.
As you can tell it's still not clean and I have no idea how to get the various holes cleaned.
If you're boiling the razor in the same hard water that gave you the mineral deposits in the first place, you're just exacerbating the problem. For a lime/mineral buildup, I'd go with a bathroom cleaning product such as Scrubbing Bubbles. Just don't soak it in the stuff for hours. A minute or two followed by a good scrubbing and thorough rinsing should take care of the problem.You claim you tried hot water, but how hot? Did you try boiling the razor (in pure tap water)?
Since then I have been wiping my razor dry after each use and here's how it looks now.Here are the before and after pictures. What I have tried so far:

Yeah I wouldn't have had this build up if I was more disciplined at the time that I acquired the razor. I was always in a hurry and never properly rinsed and dried any of my implements. This is also the reason why the finish on my L'Occitane Plisson shaving brush is peeling off even though the knot is practically new.I have hard water in my current residence and I clean my razor after every shave. It is like new, spotless.
