Thread: Another Question on "Sanitation" and/or "Sterilization"

Each of us hobbiests are free to do what we think is best for our own protection. My focus is to help protect hobbiest razor users from infection risks possibly associated with newly acquired used razors and also their razors from damage. Cleaning a razor with soap and water/Scrubbing Bubbles followed by a dip in most common disinfectants and a water rinse should do the job. However, there are different levels of confidence associated with various disinfection procedures. As a public health person, I am reluctant to propose any procedures less than those that would be considered professionally acceptable, even if I know that they will likely work out OK. Any procedure that cleans/disinfects a razor is safer than doing nothing. Time and drying will kill many bloodborne pathogens, but I would not like to experience the reaction were I to offer this as my method of sterilization upon an evaluation of the safety and acceptability of my instrument cleaning/disinfection procedures.
