Why are you so worried about viruses/bacteria etc?
Happy to concede I'm flapping over nothing, but I guess it's just that there's a reasonable chance it's been in contact with blood and I have no way of knowing how it's been cared for and where it came from. True what you say about two months of quarantine in regards to hep C, but I wonder about tetanus. The army surplus market in Saigon is a nice breeding ground for that. When I got them, these razors looked like they had sat around in the dirt for many a year.
Like I said though guys, I've put them away for use now. This was just a case of erring on the side of caution. Plus, it seems good practice to sterilise before selling and I'm hesitant to boil the Slim in particular, so I don't inadvertently harm the plastic inside.
Another practical reason for looking for this stuff is that my mum is a nurse/midwife and is contemplating doing some external consulting, so she will get some use from it too. I wouldn't just be buying a litre for the sake of two razors, it works out well for both.
All the above aside,
A NOTE TO ANYONE READING THIS IN THE FUTURE FOR INFORMATION:
Glenos suggests an 80/20 mix of ethanol to water, and I'm satisfied that this will kill anything nasty. I used metho, as a google search suggested any denatured alcohol was suitable. A short bath and then rinse with this, followed by a good scrub in hot soapy water is all that is really needed. I've gone far overboard for the reasons above, but it's hardly necessary.
