I have a bathtub/shower combo and the caulking between the shower trim and the tub is beginning to look dark and old. I want to remove it and would like to know if there's an easy way to do that.

no easy way really. I use a razor blade.
I had the same problem and used a putty knife.
Try a Husky brand 6 in 1 painter's tool. At HD, runs about $5 to $6.
Use a putty knife and carefully remove it from seams. Works like a charm
HA HA = I wish!
Probably a razor blade but be careful and go slowly.
You can use a utility knife or putty knife, slicing through the caulk and peeling it away. For multiple layers of caulk, needle-nosed pliers might work best. There are also specialized caulk removal tools designed to tear away caulk cleanly.
Krud Kutter Caulk Remover has a gel-like consistency that clings to the surface of the caulk and stays wet for a long period of time. Caulk removers help to ease the removal of nearly all types of caulks, including silicone, polyurethane and acrylic latex.
