Hi all,

I'm following the advice of the experts on this site and purchasing a used blade as my first. I found one that fits the bill but the seller noted in his ad that he boiled the razor in order to sterilize it. The time submerged is not noted, but I would think that this treatment has the propensity to damage the celluloid (assuming it's celluloid) scales. Is my assumption correct? If so, is there a "safe" amount of time the entire razor could be submerged without damage? Also, what questions could I ask that may determine if any damage has been done? I'm guessing this is limited to "are the scales warped?", but given my inexperience I figured I'd ask.

Many thanks,

Todd
