I cleaned my razors today

They had built up a bit of soap residue. Now they’re cleaner.

How did you clean them?

I soaked them in warm water with some dish soap, then used a soft bristle toothbrush to scrub the residue off.

Then I applied a dab of mineral oil to the ones with exposed threads.

I was going to suggest a toothbrush and then was happy to read that’s what you used.

How long did the process take?

Oh, maybe 35 minutes or so.

I had 6 razors to clean, and I wasn’t in a hurry.

That's how I do it too. Sometimes, i also use a bit of vinegar to help with the cleaning as well.

TIL that there is a Lemmy community for wet shaving.

Sooooo dull. I'm due to do the same.

I might just buy an ultrasonic cleaner to make it easier. My hope is this would result in less squinty-eyed toothbrush scrubbing.
