I'm gonna say there is no way you can fix it. I've seen phones break from just a few drops on the keypad.
And especially with Razors, those have all sorts of problems, despite the water. I think your phone has a <0% of survival.

It's very unlikely that you will be able to get it back. Take out the battery immediately and let everything dry out for a couple days.
I've been in this situation twice before so i know what it's like.
The first time i was at a swim meet and my parents couldn't stay so my mom lent me her phone so that i could call them when it was over to pick me up. After my races i went to the locker room and changed into my dry clothes. I walked over to my coaches to let them know i was going to leave. They were standing right at the edge of a pool and cheering people on. As I reached the edge of the pool one of the coaches accidentally hit my arm - which was holding the phone of course - and it flew into the pool, but since it was in the middle of a race i couldnt go get it right away. I had to stand there for the rest of the 400 medley (which is a very long race - 16 laps) staring at the phone as it was soaked with water. Finally the race was over and one of the swimmers retrieved my phone for me. I felt so bad but my parents forgave me because it was an accident and it was literally 2 days before the warranty ended so she got a new phone for free AND i got a brand new phone 2!
The second time I was at my friend's house with a bunch of other friends and it was a very hot arizona summer day and all the girls wanted to go swimming so we jumped in the pool with our clothes on. but none of the guys wanted to go swimming so we plotted against them and pushed them in one by one of course one of them just happened to have his phone in his pocket and we pushed him in with it still in his pocket. I felt so bad because he was my boyfriend at the time and i was the ringleader in the scheme. It worked out though because he ended up getting a razor out of it!
Maybe i should just work some of my phone submerging magic on your phone....it hasnt failed me yet! ; )

Sounds fairly fatal- I washed my husband's cell phone in the washing machine once (forget to check the pockets) and we had to lay it to rest...
cell phone company suggested blowing it dry with a hair dryer- or placing it on top of the dryer while running it-
who knows...
good luck, sorry for your loss...

Take the battery out, and try to air dry it as soon as possible. once it drys, it might work again. 10% chance.
