Bill, I avoid using a razor because I have sliced off strips of blank material. I'm fortunate so far that either rod I damaged has failed over the years. I usually warm the residue up a bit and then "scrape" it away with a finger nail or an old credit card. They do no damage to the blank.
The only downside to using a fingernail is that my fingertips get a little sore for a few days afterward, so if you go that route, convince your wife to do the job for you. What a great way to get her involved in your interests! :>)
