    I am very comfortable using barbicide as a disinfectant.
    I use barbicide, have the jar and everything, when I decide to disinfect a razor, I submerge in the proper mixture for a minimun ten minutes, no longer than 20 minutes, and rest the blade in such a way that the scales themselves aren't immersed - don't want to turn them blue.

    Barbicide specs:

    Proven effective against HIV-1, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Staphylococcus (including MRSA), Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Clostridium Difficile (C.Diff), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Herpes, Influenza (including H1N1), “Athletes Foot” (TineaPedis)
    Complies with OSHA’s blood borne pathogens standard
    U.S. EPA-registered hospital-grade, broad-spectrum disinfectant
    Safe for non-porous surfaces including tanning beds, metals, stainless steel, plastics, combs, brushes, rollers and shears
    Concentrate—Simple to mix, without taking up precious shelf space!
    Anti-rust formulation protects your expensive shears
    Will not stain skin or surfaces

    I've read that some have experienced stained scales with the stuff, so I don't take any chances by immersing the scales - not that I have anything against the colour blue...
