Been there, done that, Paul.
Mom n Dad had a beach house on Ocean isle beach, NC.
Lived there two weeks every year from the time I was 8 years old, till into my twenties, loved floundering at night in the inter coastal, and canals. Had the cast nets, crab cages, gig, spotlights, and a fine mesh net for those orange eyed shrimp.

Didn't take me much to figure out how to fillet a flounder. kind of cool you could get four fillets from one fish, and then you can stuff them with the other goodies from that night.
Man.....its thanksgiving, and now I'm craving stuffed flounder.

Hey Steve.!!
I'm cleaning up a set of ivory scales today, figured I'd post a pic of what I'm using. This takes care of all your worries.

Florida instituted a net ban about 25-30 years ago and put a bunch of fishermen out of work. It just about devestated Cedar Key. A little while later the state gave long term, low cost leases on salt flats and set them up farming clams. Before that Florida only ranked in shellfish production with oysters from Apalachicola. Now they are first in the nation and Cedar Key is booming again. One of the few times I can remember government intervening doing something that makes sense.

Thank you Mike,

I’ll bring me own.

I might even bring my DOVO so you can hold a truly great razor in your hands

The little town of Cedar Key on the gulf coast has award winning seafood including Tony's Restaurant which won the Newport Clam Chowder Festival contest 3 years in a row. Gulf shrimp there will blow your mind PLUS it is the largest producer of farm raised clams in the US exporting them all over the country.
Now I want seafood for Thanksgiving.

Sounds so good.

Now I got to go to Ohio then down to Florida.

This has been the most entertaining thread on SRP I have read in this past year! From ideas to sterilize umm I mean disinfect to differences in culture and language to fish n chips. But my favorite part was when TC was try to type WD-40. I’m still laughing out loud!

You guys made my turkey day!

Way overthinking the germ thing, if there was the hint of any transfer, the Nanny State Police would out law the sale of straight razors, like the killer straws & plastic bags, years ago. Bleach has been used for years to kill anything that came into blood contact. Wipe it on, wipe it off.

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…

Amen brother. Even though I know it is theoretically possible the likelihood is still very low.
