Thread: Dirty. gunky blades

I believe those razors were quite common in those days, and people tend to treat common everyday objects with callousness (even if the object is considered valuable). Ironically, those common everyday objects are now of historical value today.

How many times have we used a common object like a flashlight... drop in water, stained, spill paint, scratch, ding or other such... and we clean it just enough to get the thing working again...

100 years from now someone will say...
"I've seen many "flashlights" with rust about from humidity and age, but the nice "flashlights" put away with soap and such still on them baffles me. Even more baffling is the amount of gunk found on the inside of the flashlights".

People’s attitude to common everyday objects have not changed.

Good analogy. Still it is frustrating to see something so nice on the outside and evil on the inside. Sounds like an ex I knew, but that is another story.

I just recieved the Ultrasonic Cleaner from "that auction site" and ran some razors through it to see the how clean it would get them. Using hot tap water and a little liquid Dawn dish dertergent I set it to 480 seconds (the longest time setting available). I have a couple with bone scales that were stained and discolored into the pores. Man, did that ever clean up those razors. And you wouldn''t believe the crude in the bottom of the tank. It was a great investment IMHO.
