if anyone has tried an ultrasonic to clean razors what solution did you use? wasn’t sure what to put in mine, figured water and couple drops of dish soap couldn’t hurt. it got it cleaner but missed some spots. was cleaning a blackbird and it didnt get all the stuff in the grooves of the handle.
I use a few drops of Dawn. After ultrasonic for a few minutes I lightly scrub the razor parts with a nylon brush to loosen anything that didn’t release during the ultrasonic bath. I’ve been very happy with the results.
Thats what I did. Water as hot as it comes out of the tap, and a splash of Dawn. Still learning it. My Flare tips took about 6 90 second trips through the bath, and soft toothbrush to remove the stubborn bits of crud in the knurling.
