If I'm the only one to use my razor, why to I have to even think about using antiseptic? Is there any proof that a zaor will develop harmful bacteria between shaves? What about dressing the blade with, say, camelia oil as a rust preventative? Will that inhibit the growth of whatever bacteria people are concerned about? I guess maybe I've been lucky, but after all these years, I've never had a problem that I could attribute to an un sanitary razor.
