Thanked: 1My straight razor has black powder on it when I took it out of the box.
Well I was actually about to start shaving for the first time 5 minutes ago but I'm here asking SRP members how to disinfect my straight razor with replaceable blades. I'm not sure what the black stuff was but it looked nasty and smeared all over my fingers. I was wondering what I should use to clean the straight razor and the blades I put in it before I shave. Its a Parker SRB made in India. Please I look like a damn mountain man. I need to shave asap. Thanks guys/gals!

Give this a go. Barbicide or Isopropyl alcohol or Jack Daniels. Check this geofatboy vid:
ps-I'm not vouching for all the info(particularly, the not shaving with the same razor w/in 48hrs claim), but this should be helpful for straights, shavettes, safety razors...Last edited by Siguy; 03-20-2014 at 06:59 PM.

Thanked: 24Just a thought here, but could it be slurry from the honing?
I'm not sure where you got it from, but the previous owner may have honed it then boxed/ shipped it without bothering to strop or clean it.
