One of the best tools available to the hobby.

And less than $20. I used frag cement to glue it on to the mag float.

It Works

Make sure you thoroughly wipe the razor blade with a towel or something after using. If you get it completely dry the blade will last for months

I have one too and it works great. Just be careful around your silicone. Another thing to look at is the new Mag-Flip. It is very thin, about 1/4", and has a large cleaning area. It has a built in plastic scraper on the backside. Work good, i had a chance to use one at the LFS and was cleaning corraline of thier glass no sweat.

I actually just bought one yesterday, it was a bit of a PITA to attach and I have the nasty razor cut on my finger to rpove it

The only reason it was a problem for me through is like the lazy guy I am I didn't bother trying to scrape all the coraline off of my hammerhead before I put the glue one, so of course it did not stick. Once I scraped it off and sandpapered the float and the scraper it worked awesome.

I actually take it a part and wash each piece after use. I keep the blade wrapped in paper towel until the next time I want to use it. Leaving it in salt water or with salt water on it will show signs of rust over night.
