Hello Doc - We went to Cancun Mexico last week. It was me and my other friends. We went to hang by pool and then came back to room and I realized that one of my other friend used my brand new razor to shave his face/chest. Because I saw few hairs sticking in razor. I asked him and he said he used it.
He used it around 2 pm. I realized about that around 8 pm. Then, I washed my razor with hot water for minute or two and double checked for any blood on it. After washing it with hot water for two minutes, I proceed with shaving my face. Razor was sitting still for 4 to 5 hours before I washed it and started using it.
I didn't think too much about it because by the time I used my razor it was clean and I washed it with hot water. But, after returning from trip, I am still thinking about that incident. Because, the friend who used my razor is bi-sexual. He has girl friend and he also sees guys (at least from what I heard).
To cut long story short, Am I at risk? I could have gotten new razor but being new in another country, I didn't know where to go to buy new razor. So I just properly washed it before using it on myself.
I am no doctor but my research says it's NO risk activity. But anytime, I put myself in questionable situation, I turn to you guys. Because I trust your honest opinion.
I am not too worried about it but I will be back to normal once I hear reassuring words from you folks.
Thank You
