JMS post above got me thinking, I have used salt and alcohol to clean foul ebay tobacco pipes. You fill the bowl with salt and put in some alcohol and leave it sit until the liquid dries and then knock it out. You can see the tar turning the salt brown in short order. I would try putting the stone in a leak proof container and then put in some alcohol and let it sit. Neither the alcohol or the salt will hurt the stone.

An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.
