Thread: How do I disinfect my straight razor?

I have five anvils and have never disinfected any of them.

if your not sharing your razor why would you use barbicide after every use

Sure you have banging 1600 degree steel onto the surface pretty much kills everything

I regret seeing that.

Just use medical alcohol.

I personally don't think 212 degree water or that is the point at which it boils but after taking off the heat it decreases almost immediately would hurt a razor that should be tempered at a much higher heat but like I stated, I can't really say. That being said I would use Barbercide or 70% Iso and wipe the blade with it.

I would assume if you clean your razor after each shave under hot tap water you should be okay in my estimation. You ask if I am a professional in this field???? No, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night!

I bought the medium sized barbicide container that comes with a top and tray to hold your razor. It is fantastic for all types of instruments such as nail clippers, tweezers etc.. The tray makes it very easy to lift out and remove items. I have just enough barbicide to cover my razor blade and not the scales. I soak for 15 minutes. Every 30 days I soak my razors to keep them free of any unwanted bacteria etc.

You should warn us when it is going to be that nasty.
