As an aftershave???

Brother, I have a cabinet full of aftershaves. Barrister and Mann, Fine, Phoenix Artisan Acoutrements, Italian Barber. The Lucas Oil CLP is right up there with Tombstone and Tuscan Oud.

Heads up. Gave my dog a small antler of some sort to gnaw on instead of rawhide. Next vet visit cost her 2 extractions for cracked pre-molars, cost me $800.
The vet says never give a dog anything harder than what you would want to chew on.
Polymer may be fine but I’d worry about getting down into the metal.

I’d take the chance with a Glock.

…or two.

I have for years used Gunscrubber following Hoppes for cleaning guns following classes. It is expedient and effective with a lot of guns when we are in a hurry. You just need to remember to add lubricant back into the gun as appropriate because that stuff takes it all off. I have not yet melted a polymer gun, but I did once melt a government cell phone with it.

Gun Scrubber, i have had, and used. but for a "safe" spray cleaner, i use the "Tetra Synthetic safe" spray on all my guns, when i need to, not just the polymer guns.

Acetone may not be good for plastic guns but it is great for child rearing!

Apply a little Super Glue and the kid will stay put. A little acetone will quickly release them.
