What should be done with a razor after use?

After using a razor, it is essential to disinfect it and store it properly. This practice is crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of infections or diseases among clients. Disinfecting the razor eliminates any harmful bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens that may have come into contact with the skin during the shaving process. Proper storage after disinfection ensures that the razor remains clean and ready for future use, thus upholding professional standards in a barbershop environment.

Choosing to throw the razor away would lead to unnecessary waste and additional costs, while rinsing it with water only would not sufficiently eliminate pathogens. Loaning the razor to other barbers increases the risk of cross-contamination, which poses a significant health risk to clients. Therefore, the best practice aligns with disinfecting and storing the razor properly.
