I was looking for something in my master closet and underneath some items, I found some dirty old Gillettes that I had purchased at a flea market a few years ago that I had forgotten about. Theywere nesty with that old brown soap scum that had petrified to them. I soaked them in dish water for a few hours, then scrubbed, then soaked and also used Scrubbin' Bubbles bathroom cleaner. The Black Beauties cleaned up very nicely but the '40s Super Speed will need another session. It is still clogged with gunk.
