Sanitization
Posted: 02-20-07 22:59pm

My friend's dad was a barber and my friend got a hold of some of the razors. He is going to bring me one but it has been used before. What is the best way to sanitize the razor?

1JohnSmith1; before I answer that question I would like to know why would you want to re-use it? It will be dull from the first use. And why did you put this question under "Depression"?

It's made to withstand multiple uses. It hasn't been used much, once or twice maybe. I just want to make sure that it is sanitized.

Ok; The best way I suggest you clean it is by washing it w/ regular soap and water then soak it in bleach or rubbing alcohol. Make sure to rinse off the bleach or alcohol before use.

Thank you, I'll be sure to do both of those and to rinse the rubbing alcohol off.

I wouldn't suggest doing that.......you never know what is on that razor. Now adays with hepatitis and aids, you can never be sure enough.

Thank you for your concern. He lost all but one of the razors anyways so I'm not getting one. I got new ones, from an unused (shaving) razor head instead, they work really well.
