Have ordered a few razors and am considering taking a few marginal efforts toward sanitizing/sterilizing the blades before use.

Now I know there are several threads - many quite lengthy - debating and discussing the effectiveness and merit (or illusion thereof) of sterilizing blades...

That's not what I'm interested. I'm not out to make them the so sterile you can perform surgery on a newborn with them. I've already decide a soaking in alcohol or a spray down with Lysol is will be sufficient to let me sleep at night.

My question is this: Does anyone know if soaking in alcohol or spraying with Lysol causes and adverse side effects to various types of scales - e.g. horn, wood, bakelite, etc.?

Insight/experiences from anyone who's used either would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
