Thread: sanitizing a flare tip

Note about Barbacide - Do not forget that you put your razor in it. I did this once or twice for an extended amount of time (overnight/ forgot about it)......and the blade came out hot and black, like I had soaked it in vinegar...
Soak for 10 minutes (set the timer) And I think your suppose to let it dry on it's own, then I'd rinse it with really hot water then dry agian.

Yes - 10 minutes and only ten minutes - rinse and dry.

I don't let the scales get into the barbicide, even though it says it won't hurt it, why take the chance.

Mind you, if I get an old razor, I will use the barbicide once, then just do normal cleaning.

thanks again to everyone....that's why this is my "go to" site....an abundance of info....also the 10 min max rule for barbicide is spot on...if you leave it too long it has an adverse effect....
