A member asked:
Yesterday i had a full beard shave and saw barber changing the blade of the razor before starting and within the process also he changed the blades however there was some small bleeding in me for cuts is there any risk of hiv and hepatitis b c ?

The new blade is sterile and a "use once" razor, so no worries there. All other stainless steel instruments are soaked in Barbicide which is an EPA registered disinfectant, proven effective against HIV-1, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C. ref: https://www.barbicide.com/product/barbicide-concentrate/
