How do I clean this plastic Gillette?

[rocky555]

So... I finally found at home this old Rotbart and Gillette adjustable. (third one is worthless it seems)

Question is - how to clean the Gillette? Can I clean it in boiling water or it will damage the handle?

It isn't plastic, there is a resin coating on the handle. Just use scrubbing bubbles and an old tooth bush.

Boiling water? It is a razor not a hard boiled egg......

As previously recommended, scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner and a tooth brush is all you need to clean ANY razor.

NO boiling water
NO vinegar
NO bleach

You want to clean it, not destroy it.

The resin handle can "bleach out" if exposed to too harsh of a cleaner. You see them on ebay from time to time with an almost white handle. Dish soap and warm to hot water will go a long way on your task.

There is no Scrubbing Bubbles available in my country...

Use a liquid dish soap and a toothbrush. If you can find one marked antibacterial use that, otherwise use what you can locate

Liquid Dawn dish soap (or equivalent), hot (tap) water and a toothbrush.

I did my best, but there is still some "hard to get" old soap residue on the head...

As for Rotbart, I cooked it, and then cleaned with toothbrush and now it is as new, except few almost unnoticable plate loss dots on the head.
