I forgot to bring this up
So I was disinfecting a razor with your standard bathroom rubbing alcohol, and it reminded me of a few months ago when I got some of the alcohol on the scales and I didn't clean it off right away. When I came back to that razor the alcohol had started to eat away the scales just like acetone would have. I totally destroyed those scales.
I guess if it kills scales it will kill germs very well.
Anyone else seen this before?

I believe it was celluloid.

Most solvents will dissolve celluloid.

Celluloid is very finicky stuff. Even some plain water from the hot tap if it is hot enough will damage it. Sometimes I think looking at the stuff too long has ill effects.

I've never used rubbing alcohol for disinfecting razors. The only thing I have used is Barbicide.
