Thread: Getting the tape off

What's the best way to get rid of tape off a razors spine so u dont ruin a hone

Take the old piece of tape off the spine, wrap it around your forefinger sticky side out and dab at the residue Bingo!!!! problem solved

I have always used lighter fluid to get the tape residue off because it works well and I have it. Nail polish remover, like lighter fluid, contains naphtha and that will cut the glue residue easily. I've heard alcohol works too but don't use your Woodford Reserve.

GooGone works wonders.

+1 been doing this and it works great!

I keep a bottle of goo gone (if needed) under the sink. I usually don't. A little rubbing, and the residue is gone. Use good tape!
I use Scotch Pro grade Super 33+ (at least I think I got all the words in.....)

googone is your best bet, it doesnt have a high alcohol content if any, which im sure your razor will thank you for

You guys can use whatever you want,,,

But here is a small warning take it for what it's worth

Strong Chemicals + Razor scales = Potential Disaster..

Not always, not every time, but when you melt the pivot outta a prize razor your going to wish you hadn't used the chemicals..

Naptha = Bad
Acetone ie: fingernail polish = really bad
Goo Gone = I haven't ever read the label

Basically anything that makes yer head jerk back when you smell it, I would keep away from razor scales...

Again they are your razors so you do what you want
