Best way to get the hidden parts is with dental floss that you slip in like the blade loads - but the action of the blade loading on an injector cleans them somewhat. You can soak all metal heads in rubbing alcohol (careful of IPA with the plastic parts). I'd try super glue for the number disk, but have never had to ..

was thinking glue or something also i have came across a video where a guy had a old injector key that he put in one side and dental pick on the other scrub the insides

The best way to clean the interior of the head of a vintage Schick injector razor is to insert a new blade. That action is self-cleaning and that's all that is necessary.

The best way to clean the exterior of the head and the handle is with an old soft toothbrush and warm soapy water.

Much damage has been done to old razors by over-thinking this and using extreme methods.

This question comes up often. Answer is always the same: do nothing.

There are some mini brushes, for cleaning between teeth....they are NOT long enough.....but it is amazing the amount of brown stuff that comes out.......

This is what I did to a my E2 Schick that I bought at a rural antique store that needed some care and attention. The spring was already bent and looked like some one was trying to make work like some of the earlier models that you could push the spring to one side to open.
It needed a major cleaning because of the blade left in it was staining the brass badly. It took a lot of work to clean but it has become my favorite of my E types. Some folks do not recommend this for what ever reason, but it was so close to being thrown out by the antique store owner.

Have some great shaves!

Ron R, congratulations on your good work.

I love the beautiful natural coloration of those old Bakelite handles from the 1930's!
