Baking Soda - Cleaning a razor

[Supermangs]

Baking soda gets touted around as a great cleaning agent, recommended from everything from teeth to kettle to clothes.

Is there any problem with making a wet paste with baking soda and using it to clear a razor? Might it be too abrasive?

I Grew Up with Baking Soda in Just about Every Household..It was used a Lot as a Cleaner for the Kitchen to Washing & Refreshing Linen & Bedding..Its Not anymore Abrasive than any Toothpaste..You can Also Add it to Dish Washing Liquid as Well..

Put some vinegar in some and watch it foam up!

Soap warm water using a toothbrush is all you need

Baking soda is great, but an abrasive. Over time..................
