+1 to this.

As far as I understand an autoclave works on pressure and temperature and that is why they are effective at killing germs at a lower temperature. I would think that barbercide would be sufficient though.

In Michigan, most barber shops are in low income areas and I doubt that most of the modern sanitization techniques are ever brought to use because of the cost. I would be willing to work with the Michigan health board to try and set up some guidelines for proper and safe disinfecting where straight razors and brush storage are concerned.

My instructor is on the board and did write the Michigan Barbers exam so I feel I might have an "in" where this is concerned.
