I am sure this post has been done already . I apologize in advance but I really do not want to sift through countless posts. The question I pose gentlemen is what would be the preferred method of Sterilizing a vintage safety razor? Barbicide (Plus?) Or Clipperide? I am leaning towards the Clippercide because I have read it leaves a film of lubrication behind which I imagine would help with a TTO Design.
Barbicide or Clippercide ?

I have both at home because I cut my own hair and have used both. You probably could not go wrong either way.

Either one will work.
How long would you leave a straight razor in it before it would be sterile?
This is the correct answer ,plus it will work on your brushes,clippercide will not ,and Barbicide does not mention brushes on its instruction panel....
They all use "Quats" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_ammonium_cation
Same thing in scrubbing bubbles and pine-sol and I think lysol too.
Also noted in other posts is that if it is a vintage razor, AIDS dies in hours outside the body, hepatitis in a couple weeks, and just about everything else dies in between an hour and a couple weeks. So just washing it and maybe spritzing it with some lysol or 409 or whatever for a minute should be more than enough.

I'm going to try the Mar-V-cide clipper spray because it also says it inhibits rust as well. I have a beard trimmer and I think this will work well for a DE razor as well. I hope bumping this post will help new shavers make the right choice in keeping their gear clean
Yes...should work fine on a DE razor,but electric clippers of any sort should always get a few drops of oil after using the aerosol disinfectants,they float away the protective ,heavier oil even though the cans say "lubricates"...Your electric clippers really need a good coating of clipper oil to cut properly and to keep the blades from wearing out prematurely.
Thanks. Ill be sure to get some oil soon too.
Don't forget Hydrocide.
