Rob! You are Spot On!

I can’t believe how paranoid some people can be!!

Wipe the damn blade off with some alcohol, ‘dip’ it some boiling water and or use the Barbicide!!!

For the love of God! The blades that are being discussed here haven’t’ been used in years!!!!

Does anyone really think that a blade would still have the ability to transmit a virus or bacteria that the previous owner had after all these years??

I could see wanting to have some reassurance if the blade had been used by someone very recently but to be so paranoid about something that hasn’t been used for years and years just doesn’t make any sense!!

Get Real!

Oh! I hope all will remember to use the alcohol wipes provided at the grocery store each and every time they use the shopping cart at the grocery store!!

You can’t be Too Careful!!
