This thing was really nasty, caked with soap scum, tto doors opened and closed as they should have, but the rough turning and squeaky twist mechanism was obviously clogged with shaving gunk as well. So, I did a 24 hour hot water/dish soap soak , followed by a bath of scrubbing bubbles, and finished with a toothbrush scrub. The outside is certainly not nos shiny, but the surface is clean eough for use. The TTO knob action is much smoother, but still squeaks so I decided to soak once more in just water. 12 hours later, this flaky white substance appears, oozing out of joints here and there. I'm guessing this is some kind of shaving nastiness from inside the handle working its way out.
I decided then to just continue soaking, changing the water every 12 hours. Ive repeated this cycle for the past 4 days, and the white, flaky gunk contiues to ooze with no signs of abatement. Am I doing more harm than good by having the razor immersed in water continuously for so long?

here but what I would try is a little vinager 
did I just say that - very dilute in some water to neutralise the alkali, swish it around well for a few minutes to get it all inside then rinse and rinse and rinse again to get it all out. Then just use and maybe lube occasionally if still squeaking and to coat the ally to stop it happening again now the inner coating is gone.
