A member asked:
I have a hobby of collecting antique safety razors and one i got a small cut on top my hand(red but very very little blood) am i at risk of infection?

Little risk: Wash it with soap and water and bandage it up and you should be OK. If in the next day or so it gets red inflamed painful or has pus or if you get a fever then you will need to see a doctor. Make sure you have had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years.
