Taken from the Arizona Administrative Code

R4-5-104. Safety and Sanitation Provisions
A. A licensee under A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 3, and this Chapter shall conduct the following safety and sanitation procedures:
1. Use barbering implements that are:
a. New if intended for use on a single patron and disposed of after use; or
b. In good repair and free of defect if intended for multiple use;
2. Sanitize any barbering implement intended for multiple use according to the following procedure:
a. For any immersible barbering implement other than a scissors or razor, a licensee shall:
i. Remove all hair or debris,
ii. Wash with soap and water,
iii. Completely immerse in a disinfectant solution that is approved and used as prescribed under R4-5-105,
iv. Rinse with water,
v. Dry completely, and
vi. Store in a dry sanitizer;
b. For a scissors or a razor, a licensee may follow the procedure under subsection (A)(2)(a) or wipe the implement with a cloth bearing a disinfectant solution approved and used as prescribed under R4-5-105. The licensee shall store an implement sanitized under this subsection in a dry sanitizer;
c. For a non-immersible barbering implement, a licensee shall wipe or spray any parts that contact a patron with a disinfectant solution approved and used as prescribed under R4-5-105. The licensee shall store an implement sanitized under this subsection in a dry sanitizer;

So it looks as if under AZ law that you CAN use a real straight.

You just need a dry sanitizer and some barbicide, or you can use a Feather type razor.

I may move to AZ!!

There is a place in Paradise Valley that uses real straights. My friend goes there, they charge $20. Not bad at all.

I hear theres somewhere in Chandler as well.

I suspect Hillary can't use a real straight because the proprietor does not want the liability. Personally, I think thats being paranoid, but I can understand the fear.

Glad to have you here! Wish I lived closer, it would be nice to get a shave than to shave. The VWs are cool, but I'm into American iron, like this--> http://straightrazorpalace.com/finer...tage-cars.html

I just think everyone is misinformed in my shop.. one person tells you yes you can us a real one, and then the others say no... im confused!!! i would definetly us a real one!! first i would like to try it out a few times though just to get the pressure and everything right!! Then maybe offer clients wich they would rather have me use?!? I dont mind using dispposables since the shop provides the blades!! and also just for a FYI the shaves at my shop are $24.oo i think its very resonable!! i used to work somewhere and shaves STARTED at $50.00!!!!!!!!! oh and all the shaves at the shop are given by girls (which aren't hard on the eyes!!!) We don't have any male barbers at the moment...

Oh....Now you're just teasing us!!!!

Well, for all you guys not in AZ...Ha! I can drive down there!

Hillary, maybe you can offer your customers a choice between a real straight and the "fake" one. I might have to drive out there after finals and lend you a straight. :P

btw, who is the member here who's a customer at your shop? Not asking you to out him, but if you see him or if he's reading this..... I'm just curious.
