OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus?

So, here is what I actually do, I am ready for the onslaught of comments why it is a bad idea:

While the lock is still on the arm, with a magnifying glass, I actually push my Onzo UP onto the stylus while watching carefully, and now do the same with Magic Eraser. I personally think I have better control of depth and gentle pressure, than lowering the arm into the Zero stuff or into the MR.

Any thoughts?

To Rlwainwright,
Please don't get upset with some of the responses you get on this or any other thread; I have learned that people here have VERY strong feelings about their rituals. Right or wrong, I think you have to at least respect the opinion of someone who has examined a bunch of styli under a microscope! Thanks for your input. There is the strong possibility that most of us are a bit nuts with our record cleaning, stylus cleaning, stylus treating, dust removing rituals.
Sometimes, I get so tired of thinking it through, that (I admit it), I just put on a record, get a glass of brandy, and listen to it. Kind of nice

To Mark, this has been my experience with the Zerodust. If I lower the cartridge into the Zerodust with 2.5 gm of VTF on my Denon 103R cartridge, the whole stylus and cantilever dip into the gummy stuff; when I lift it out gently, you can see the stylus "pull away" from the cantilever slightly, and that seems to me to be "bad". If I raise the Zerodust into the stylus, I can, with a magnifier, get everything off the stylus, not touch the cantilever, and the stylus hardly budges..so in my simplistic brain, that seems safer to the cartridge. It takes a gentle touch I guess, but I haven't broken the Denon yet.

Photon wrote above, with his cleaning regimen, that he has...after a year,... "no accumulation between the stylus and where it inserts into the cantilever. Damn it, I DO get accumulation there, usually of very fine fibers, like from clothing or something, not dust per se. I am so compulsive about cleaning a record before playing it, I have no idea where they come from. At times, it requires a magnifying glass and non metal tweezers to tease these out of the junction between stylus and cantilever...I am not hamfisted, but this is very tricky business.
If anyone is out there still following this thread...Have you ever had this problem, and how do you fix it??
Thanks
