    Do people really use the same razor for shaving the crotch and then shaving their face? I'm not saying the product isn't a good idea, for germophobes, but seriously... why not just buy a second razor for the manscaping? Hmm?


    In other news, people have been shaving for hundreds of years without germ-killing UV razor cases. How is this possible? How, I ask you!?

    @BeautifulAgony: I shan't explain what it would feel like to have my grooming appliance hit the Danger Happy Fun Zone, but as one who is not a swimmer or a crotch model, I think I'll live without the thrill of baldifying the garden in the shade.


    Isn't it obvious? Today's supergerms are thriving, so we need to kill them. Kill them with light.

    @Kaiser-Machead: But... won't killing off some of the supergerms jus tmake the remaining strains even tougher and more super-resistant until we're left with person-sized germs threatening us with tire-irons in dark alleys?

    How do you know if it works...

    well you can say it is bogus before you try

    it can be even deadlier cause the 0.1% can kill you and you need x% of good bacterias to survive the .1%


    Well i think it can't work otherwise i should leave my blades in direct sunlight cause it has to be the same effect and sunlight can't kill germs

    @TBM-Fan: from: [www.engr.psu.edu]


    The ultraviolet component of sunlight is the main reason microbes die in the outdoor air. The die-off rate in the outdoors varies from one pathogen to another but can be anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes for a 90-99% kill of viruses or contagious bacteria.

    This device sterilizes the razor almost to the point that a autoclave does. It doesn't promote resistant strains any more than an autoclave does.

    You can get some nasty infections from razors, I knew somebody that caught a horrible staph infection from theirs.

    @BigRocket: Acknowledging Machead and SteveDave, I'm with you. Either use a disinfectant or toss your disposables. This doesn't seem like rocket science. Instead it seems like another product with a use we didn't need until we realized we needed it.

    Well just make sure to cap your razors tight, and close your toilet lid when you flush, cuz every woosh can leave a fine germy spray of throne water that gets on everything, from towels to toothbrushes :D

    I keep a small glass jar of Barbicide on my sink to help dissolve crud and soap build up and sanitize my DE razors. This is nice, but unless you are sharing razors, the only baddies that should be alive on your dry razor are either your own, or ones you encounter every time you go in your bathroom.
