An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
I could buy a new tool but I am worried about getting weird stares at the store and those around me
my paper knife and a few stray blades that I have aren't rusty but they haven't been used in quite some time so I'd just thought it would be safe to sterilize them just in case for future urges
I thought about that as an option but I don't think I am willing to wait that long
and I think just heading to the store would be faster and cheaper if I got the courage
but also a pro when it comes to online shopping is that I can buy tools in bulk and just dispose of them after each time rather than having to worry about sterilization

I wash mine with soap and water, dry them immediately with a clean towel then I use isopropyl alcohol pads to wipe the blades down. That usually gets rid of germs and dust. If I'm feeling lazy I skip the two steps and only use the alcohol pads.
As a sidenote don't be afraid to buy new blades at the store. If you're going to cut yourself regardless it's best to go with a shaper tool for better control. Nobody will know the reason you're buying them. They wouldn't have any reason to stare.

I always worried that maybe using water and soap would be bad or various other liquids (alcohol and hydrogen peroxide) due to rust but this sounds like it would be fine as long as they are dried properly/completely
do you have to burn them as well or is that optional or a personal preference ?
