If the OP truly believes old steel is dangerous and doesn't want to take the advice of all us hepatitis carriers, then I guess that is fair enough. I'm being snarky... aren't I? That's because I know there isn't a problem... however, I also see that convincing the OP of that is unlikely so...
OP: Get a Ti stainless or a Dovo stainless (stainless scales) and use your autoclave. You won't be any more weird than me - just weird (to me) in a different way. I own way too many blades. I'm obsessed about that. What's really sad is that I truly think that each one is necessary. ;-}
FWIW: I've owned a Ti stainless and felt it wasn't balanced comfortably - traded it for a different type (my only case of getting rid of a functioning razor) - but it was usable. You might want to look at a Feather. They can be sterilized and they have replaceable blades. The only state law I read about the straight razor issue wasn't a case of old steel being impossible to sterilize, it was because of the outside chance that the blade WOULDN'T be sterilized before use. Replaceable blades made it a better chance. There are still several states that allow old steel to be used - and no outbreak of hep... but maybe it is coming.
As far as soaps and creams - all are germ carrying to some extent so I'm not quite sure how to suggest items that would suit you. I use alcohol, Lubriderm, KMF... maybe you will feel comfortable with them. I imagine some of the germicide soaps would work, too. Good luck and let us know what you settle on.
