Think about it.
Think about it. Sure. There's a significantly lower chance that someone else (or at least someone I don't know intimately) has bled on my bathroom surfaces, my clothing or my bedding. A used razor has a pretty high chance, and even old traces of blood is a cause for concern. So if you think about it, giving it more treatment than just washing it in hot water is a warranted precaution.

Sure, if you wash it (which, incidentally is not the same as sanitizing) you're probably safe. Some people would like to make that probably closer to definitely and there's nothing wrong with that.
