Any opinions?

I think the general consensus from what I’ve read here and do is Dawn and a toothbrush. In more severe cases scrubbing bubbles cleaner. I’ve never heard of sonett so i’m not sure about it.

I just give my Masamune a weekly scrub with my electric toothbrush, toothpaste would work as a very light abrasive if wanted.

The toothbrushes I use are ultrasoft. So they don't have much scrubbing power.

Hot water and dish soap works pretty well. That is the tried-and-true method. If you have something stubborn to clean, let it soak in warm water with dish soap for a couple hours.

Other cleaners may work fine, too. Not familiar with that one.

I have tried hot water -- both hot from tap and hot by boiling. But didn't add dish soap. That seems counterintuitive since I'm trying to remove soap from the razor. The kitchen soap I use is also by Sonett.

Dawn is the blue dish soap. That’s used in oil spills to clean birds and such. That’s what I use.

The first product I've seen in a long time so open with its ingredients

Citric acid 5–15%
Vegetable alcohol (ethanol) 5–15%
Sugar surfactants 1–5%
Water, swirled up to 100%

List of ingredients as per EC 648/2004:
Aqua, citric acid, alcohol, alkylpolyglucoside C8–10

so .... lemon juice, metho, sugar soap, and a lot of water.

People here have recommended Bar Keepers Friend, oxalic acid and citric acid, So, if that works it has citric in it??? And It is touted as a great for stainless steel sinks? The guy who made BKF is said to have boiled his Rhubarb in a stainless saucepan, and remarked to heself how clean it looked, then by some means determined there was oxalic acid in rhubarb and viola, made BKF.

At today exchange rate, 21$ a bottle in my money? I mix my own thanx

Using soap to fight soap does sound counterintuitive, but lots of dishsquashing soaps [good brands] have superior grease cutting ability, they get the lamb cutlet grease off your plate, and do indeed seem to fight lesser soaps which are some form of salts of fatty acids, or some such voodoo magic.

I clicked the link in your OP .... 14$ USD did my near enough math to get 21AUD, proper exact calculation at the current exchange rate is 14USD = 22.14AUD

Blow me away, if I buy it here it's 16.95AUD, I don't often check if I can buy North American things here, because I just can't !!
A 100gram tub of citric costs me $3, a 1L bottle of Metho is $5.50, sugar soap? hmmmm I'll use something, Shirley i can find some horrible chemical to use, i normally do Water, I get from the sky, for free, no reticulation here.
15% + 15% +5%, CRIKEY !! that's 65% water? brain hurts, I need make it back to 500Ml ... pen and paper time ball park ... 3$ + $0.55 + $?.?? + Free Water, dang, I better buy me some Water It must be good stuff

I decided to give it a shot. I forgot to take pictures of "before". The first picture here is after the first round of soak and scrub. The second picture is after a 2nd round of soap and scrub with an ultra soft toothbrush (the free one I get from my dentist, but my regular brush is at least as soft). I'm very pleased. I didn't get anywhere near these results by soaking in boiling water and even leaving it to soak even overnight.

As you can see, it has gotten almost all the soap scum out especially the stuff that is hard to clean because it's in crevices like where the logo is and where the various openings are. I used nitrile gloves while doing the scrubbing. I'll do one more scrub then call it a day.

(BTW one of the things I hate about the feather is that it has so many of these hard to reach crevices. ATT or Lambda Athena seem to have much fewer crevices.)

Well, we call cleaners like Dawn dish soap, it's really detergent. You are cleaning off greasy and grimy things. It does work where plain water won't do it.

This is final result. I think I got 95%+ of the soap out. Next time I do a cleaning (don't hold your breath), I'll take a before and after pic. After the last soak, I didn't even scrub, just did a rinse.

My conclusion: Cleaning with this product was easy and effective.
