I have always shaved with either a disposable or cartridge razor using creams or gels. Recently I started almost exclusively using a brush and mug. I have been looking at some new DE models, but yesterday I found this Gem at a local antique store for under $10. My local CVS only carries scraper blades so I will have to order some or wait till I pass by a Walgreen's. Any suugestions on the best way to get all crevices clean? Steam? Soap and an old toothbrush? Use?
