All are good answers as to what to use in place of barbicide. But only one person answered the original question.

Substance

A tall glass, jar, container or Pyrex measuring cup. Deep enough to submerge 3" of the bade. The nature of the container is to be non porous. You can clean the jar and reuse for whatever purpose, but if I was trying to remove the possibility of Hep-C, HIV or the likes. I wouldn't use it for anything but.

Go to a local thrift shop and pick out something for $2 or spend $25 on a barber jar. Your choice.
