I had counter flashing that was installed into the mortar joint of brick and then glopped with roofing cement. What is the best way to remove this cement?

We usually chip it off with our hatchets and pry-bars, then when installing the new flashing we make sure to go the next brick up to cover what can't be cleaned.
If it is fresh roof cement, I would scrape nearly all of it off with a trowel of some sort, making sure not to stain the brick, and use a heavy duty citrus cleaner to get the residue off the metal.
