Yes, and boats, and airplanes ... i guess once you know what you are doing and feel comfortable in doing so, it really is the fastest way.

There is a trick to it though, you have to hone out one side by sliding it back and forth over a smooth surface, and that flattens that side of the razor allowing it to slide over the surface (paint, boat, whatever ...) without digging.

DISCLAIMER: Do not try this on anything of value until you know what you are doing.

If it's on a window....

...razor blade, rubbing alcohol, and a paper towel. Simple, and it works.
