Thread: Are they legal for barbers to use in Ohio?

This may be a common thread, but I've been wondering if straight razors are illegal for barbers in Cincinnati to use. I moved too far away to go to my barber of 6 years that used a straight razor. I won't go to one that doesn't. He says that barbers tell people that they aren't allowed to use them because of AIDS. My old barber says that they tell people that because they don't want to use them because they're expensive. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I find it hard to believe that the 2 or3 local barbers that I know of that use them are breaking the law.
