A new mix of barbicide will last for a week. I do a mix of 946 millitres of cold water to 59 millitres ( 6.5 caps full) of undiluted barbicide, then i soak my razors, nail clippers, combs for ten minutes. After that i give them a rinse with cold water then dry them off with a clean cloth or tissue.How long does Barbacide last, I actually mean if you dispense some into a jar and soak a razor, how long can I keep the jar with the BBC in it...
TIA

It is just for new to me razors, I have a prefference for vintage straights and a few need a lot of cleaning...I can't be doing with this super clean just a good clean with soap n soft toothbrush once ever few weeks
Yes I can see why you might need to clean straights with Barbicide but do we really need this on DE's ?It is just for new to me razors, I have a prefference for vintage straights and a few need a lot of cleaning...
If you have ever cut yourself while shaving.....the razor has been exposed to a blood injury and is potentially contaminated.Yes I can see why you might need to clean straights with Barbicide but do we really need this on DE's ?
Probably would but you need time to be effective. Laboratories and Hospital theatres use autoclaves which use pressurised steam at a temp of 121C for 15 minutes to reach sterility. You would need longer if boiling a razor in a saucepan. I prefer something which is less brutal to the razor with less chance of deformation or plating damageWould boiling water not do the same thing?
My British bought bottle claims 60ml in one litre of water for a "hospital strength" solution.A new mix of barbicide will last for a week.
