Good morning SRP,

i was on my way to purchase my first straight razor and got a question from my wife. She wanted to know if there are any risks associated with purchasing a used straight razor. Particularly, she was worried about any potential diseases such as Hep B. Can anybody shed light on whether or not her fears are valid?

Also, i must say that she is trying to prevent me from spending money on a razor because she thinks i won't like it. i've told her before that i don't like shaving my face because it gives me wicked razor burn and the regular razors dull so fast.

i'm going to go to a barber today and have my face shaved with a straight razor and ask him/her a bunch of questions.

What do you think?

Sincerely,
Vincent
