When was the last time you heard of anyone contracting anything from a straight razor? Have you seen razors, double edge and cartridge that guys shave with, in gyms?
Do what makes you feel safe, but it is not needed, just clean and hone it, once your remove any steel that could have been contaminated, by cleaning and honing, you are safe.
Have you taken a good look at the last doorknob/handle, ATM keypad, you touched or your phone lately?
Pinning is cake, the Dovo guys do it with a couple whacks. Easy…
