Hello Doctor, I would like to discuss and get clarification about an incident that happened yesterday evening. At home I did a clean shave of my beard. I really didnot notice if I introduced any small cuts during shaving. I then planned to get a haircut. My regular barbershop was closed so went to a new barber shop. When I went there i was made to wait for 5 minutes. Before the barber started i clearly asked her to clean the clippers. So she applied some kind of a spray which was like a foam applied on the clipper and she rubbed it with paper and started cutting. Then when she had to trim my side burns and my back of the head she wanted to use a half razor blade. She removed the half blade from the holder which i think was used previously used and then took a new half blade from a cover. She open the cover,removed the blade and attached to the holder and used it. The scissors and the comb that were used for my haircut were not sanitized. The blade holder used to hold the half blade was also not sanitized. After my haircut was complete, I constantly checked my back of the head with my palm to see if there was any blood from the cut and I didnot notice anything. Afyer I reached home I did notice a very small cut with red dot near my sideburn.
