Deep Cleaning, Rinsing, and Drying

What happens here

Prepare a clean plastic bin with Dawn dish soap and water. Submerge the entire tobacco cutter (minus the blade, which was already cleaned and sharpened) into the soapy water. Use a soft-bristled brush to meticulously scrub all surfaces of the cutter, including intricate designs and moving parts. Ensure all remaining oil and grime are removed. Once thoroughly scrubbed, rinse the cutter with clean water and then use a fan to air-dry it completely to prevent rust.

Goal: Thoroughly clean and dry the cutter before final lubrication
