How I sanitize and revamp a Vintage Razor - Gillette Fat Boy from 1961

I recently purchased a Gillette FatBoy off of an auction site and I recently received it and this video will show how I cleaned, sanitized and polished my vintage Gillette FatBoy safety razor. The Gillette FatBoy is a sought after safety razor and is an adjustable that allows the user to dial in the level of aggressiveness by selecting a setting on the dial. The Gillette FatBoy in this video is a G3 which means that it was manufactured in the 3rd quarter of 1961.

A vintage razor will bring you many years of amazing shaving. The Gillette FatBoy is on of my favourite vintage razors to use. So when you get one, it is definitely recommended that you clean and sanitize the razor to avoid any possible contamination. It is highly unlikely that you would catch some sort of disease without cleaning, but why risk it?

This video was created to show How to clean and sanitize a Vintage razor, this also helps in sanitizing a razor. I feel that a vintage razor should be sanitize properly prior to use.

This is what I used to clean and sanitize a vintage safety razor:

old toothbrush
CLR
Scrubbing Bubbles
Rubbing Alcohol
Silvo metal polish
Dishwasher

The whole ordeal took me around 25 minutes not including the dishwasher. I took the advice from Matt from Razor Emporium and sanitized the razor in the dishwasher after watching one his video:    • DIY How to Clean a Vintage Gillette D...  

All in all the razor turned out to be in great shape the finish remained intact and superb.
