Razor cleaning

Had a coworker bring me a Gillette super speed razor and asked for to give it a good cleaning before he uses it. We settled on a small charge of $5 and the razor came home with me.

I enjoy cleaning the old razors, my collection has grown to 29 of various models, years, and even blade types. Something about bringing a old forgotten treasure back to life makes me happy. My method is to give it a scrubbing bubbles soak for a couple of minutes rinse and scrub with a toothbrush. Once more with the scrubbing bubbles to get rid of any last remaining bits of grime and final rinse and wiped down to dry. Sometimes I use a polishing compound that is safe with the nickel finish and give it a nice shine.

I returned the razor to my coworker and he was pleased with the results. Hope he enjoys his new addition for many years.
