Thread: After-shave Feather SS cleaning

I live my Feather SS, but I find a lot of cut whiskers and shaving cream gets caught in the troughs where the blade meets the holder, and just rinsing it under water never gets them all out. I usually end up having to disassemble the holding mechanism so I get that stuff cleaned out, but it's a bit annoying to have to do every time, am wondering if anyone has found a better way to get rid of that stuff (side note, there should be a name for that slurry of whiskers and used lather that one cleans off the blade; if there is one, someone should tell me what it is).

I know I could probably get away without cleaning that stuff out, and just clean it when I change blades, but it's just so gross looking, I hate the idea of it sitting in my medicine cabinet with all that gunk on it.
