Take it out, rinse it in copious fresh water. Dry it by whatever means you wish (I bake mine in the airing cupboard for 3 days) - polish it, use it.
Attero said:Agree - 50-50 is pretty darn strong, best to be way more dilute Re-hunnymonsters instructions.
I always take mine apart before i soak. Then 5-10 mins, followed by a solid rinse before re-assembling and letting it dry for an hour or two.
I have an old Pickle jar in which keep an amount diluted with a secure screw top. I also make sure to keep it well out of reach of little fingers as the stuffs pretty nasty.
..Very helpful Attero, thanks mate !Attero said:I don't know how long the stuff is supposed to last tbh, I keep mine sealed air tight in my jar for 1-2 months?
I guess if your using it alot then you would need to change it far more regularly.. but im only doing 1-2 razors a month anyway so over contamination's not really an issue (if it is anyway as its pretty strong stuff)
One of our chemists should be able to give a proper answer.
I don't know as id call it pricey tbh.. My bottle cost me £8 and its still 75% full 2 years on.
I dont use a Litre of the stuff anyway, i have 1-2 inchs diluted at the bottom of my jar .. just enough to cover all the bits.
