    Do surgeons never re-use surgical tools? Scalpels, clamps, retractors and the like? Point that out to her.

    I love this place.

    Truth told, I would never have this problem. I learned early on to ALWAYS lock the dang door when I shave. I could be shaving with a broken crack pipe for all she knows.

    I dont buy this "Sat on the shelf at the antique shop for years and therefore clean" business. Someone could have been in the store a day prior and cut themselves seeing if it was "sharp". Call me paranoid but barbicide is cheap insurance .

    Umm, I'll bet Mrs. Unit knows all about your proficiency/skill with edged weapons and is thus very respectful of your preferred shaving implements.
