Before starting on my journey with DE razors I quite happily shaved with cut-throats for several years and hadn't even heard of an alum block far less used one. Keep youself and your equipment clean and there shouldn't be a problem. But on top of that most aftersaves contain alchohol which will see off most nastiesJohnus said:But that 1% might have save you from a serious infection! 99% irritation ; 1% Staph! Who knows?
