Thread: Sterilizing razors

I see razor services include sterilization. How is that done?
thanks

I use a 15 minute soak in Barbicide.

Or Marvicide; same but cheaper!. Both are available at Sally Beauty supplies for non-licensed persons. Good source for other restorations stuff like nail buffs and also some shave products.

wipe with alcohol works as well

I use alcohol but want to get some of that blue stuff someday. What ever you use keep it off the scales.

Yeah I want a jar of the blue stuff for nostalgia's sake.

Yeah and got to have the jar too :<0)

Actually, I use a plastic graduated cylinder in order to reduce the volume I have to make up each time. Using the really cool but really large Barbicide jar would use up a lot more Barbicide.

Another alternative is the use of ClipperCide spray that I use on my barber clippers. It's basically Barbicide in a spray form. Works very well and is more controllable. I use it on any straights that I hone and send out.

I don't bother with it. I might rinse the razor under water. I've had most diseases already, and a new one might be a nice experience.
