I couldn't find anything conclusive from searching, so I've decided to try my luck with a new thread.

Would an all stainless steel straight (one of the new dovos) stand up to barbicide? I've been looking at different sterilization methods and figured aside from taking it apart and autoclaving it after every shave, which seems a wee bit excessive to me, soaking in barbicide would be effective and simple.

The question is, what (if anything) will the barbicide do to the razor? Someone said the scales on their Wapi were stained brown but not the blade, I've heard mention of the edge deteriorating. I'd really like to use the barbicide method, enough so that I'd be willing to build a straight for that purpose; is all stainless good enough?

I have an antique barbicide jar that was given to me by a friend, and I really want to use it since he has passed and no longer can.

Input is greatly appreciated, this is my first post although I have been lurking in the shadows for a little while. THANKS!
