My dad was using Dollar Tree plastic razors. I gave him a perfect '51 Gillette black tip and some Feather blades for Fathers day 2 years ago. He went in to give it a spin. Five minutes later I hear TINK TINK TINK tapping against the sink. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a big tupperware bowl. LOL The Gillette survives to this day.
I use bowl and cloth. It works.
