Can someone tell me how to use or what to store Barbacide in

[Chan Eil Whiskers]

I like this one. Not too big. Not too small.


Amazon link.

There's a larger Barbicide jar, but why? There is also one which is tiny (for nail clippers), but I think it is too small for any one piece razor.

A ball jar would work, but I like a classy looking vessel made for the purpose I'm going to use it for.

Happy shaves,

Jim

I've been using a 16 oz mason jar with a one piece plastic top for years.
The metal bands and replaceable lids kept rusting.

I only mix some up when receiving or sending a razor out. Then it's just a small amount (<1/2 a teaspoon) in my brush mug for a 10-15 minute razor soak, then it gets washed down the drain.

Simple. I like it.

That's exactly what SWMBO says about me.

I bought--perhaps by mistake--Sally's Barbicide used for salons. I have a small surplus food storage container I soak my razors after I finish shaving. I mix my cleaner using 4 or 5 cap fulls with the quantity of water from a plastic water bottle in a measuring cup. I pour the Barbicide mix into the bottle for storage, I then dump about an inch into the container is use to clean razors.

First, read the directions. I think the mix rate is like 1 oz to one gallon water.

Mix up a gallon.

Place enough in a container to cover the head of your razor.

Do not soak longer than recommended in the directions. I think it's like 10-15 minutes. Several members in several threads have noticed damage to certain razors when excessive soaking, like overnight has occurred.

I considered Barbicide, but settled on Isopropyl alcohol. Disenfects and displaces water. Neither of which may be necessary, but works for me.

They make Barbacide wipes now too which I think would be perfect because heads aren't meant to stay in it a long time.
