Well one of my surfing buddies is an epidemiologist. I'm telling you what he told me. I didn't read it but you'll pardon me if I take his word over yours or some article in a magazine.

Edit: in fairness it is not like we are talking about rinsing a razor after someone with Hep C cut themself and handed it to you. It has been possibly years since anyone used that thing. At the very least since it went into the mail. I'm not saying not to sterilize. I'm saying that in reality by the time it gets through the mail to you it is very unlikely to be contagious with anything. I sterilize mine in the way he told me for good measure. I'm don't really intellectually believe that I am going to catch anything from them. It's just nasty. Feeling "it is nasty" is not exactly scientific but it effects how I feel. Still I'll tell you what. I'll pose the question to him in a text and report back his response just for the sake of being thorough and eat crow if I have misspoken.
