Transmitting diseases through straight razor sharpening?
I recently received my brand new straight razor from SRD. So far I am loving it. I just was thinking. Wouldn't it be possible to spread things such as Hepatitis through honing services? I know my razor is new but what if my razor was sharpened on a stone that was just used to repair a razor for a customer that has hepatitis?
I do own some stuff I bought at Sallys beauty supply that barbers use to sterilize there equipment.
Should I use that on my razor to be on the safe side?
Transmitting diseases through straight razor sharpening?
SRD does use a barbricide type disinfectant to kill hepatitis and HIV. Not only that but doing research for when I started purchasing used straights the viruses cannot live long outside the body and cannot live at all with liquid. Hope it eases your worry, I know exactly how you feel! I still use barbricide at my house when I don't know the person my razor is coming from. In the end do whatever makes you feel at peace with using it.
