    After an ultrasonic cleaning, followed by a quick hand polish and barbicide dip; it’s now fit as a Christmas gift to my grandson. Want to start him off right before he gets caught up in that cartridge shaving quagmire. See before and after above.

    Nice find and cleaning transformation. The Featherweight has always treated me well. Good razor.

    Thanks, I got it for $7 with shipping, so no complaints on my part. It’s a good razor, and did clean up nicely. The original condition on arrival is below.

    Enjoy your shaves,

    Very nice! What did you use to polish it with?

    First toothpaste, next Flitz, then Weinman Metal polish. The ultrasonic cleaning took away 98% of the accumulated filth.
