My baby just got shipped out from England and I wanted to make sure it was sanitary to use. Therefore I need a way to kill all the germs on it, without damaging the metal or the celluloid handle. I don't want to boil it b/c that may damage the handle and my hair-stylist friend told me not to put it in barbicide b/c it may damage metal implements (they only use it on plastic combs in the salon). What else can I do to make sure I don't get the mad cow disease or a sudden craving for crumpets and stake & kidney pies after my first shave?

P.S. The razor is used and will require some edge-work, but I already got that part covered, so I won't be bothering you guys until I decide to mount the blade on a new Dovo handle that I've been eyeing for a while now :P
