shaving cut transmission
Dear Friends.. i have read many posts and journals here on similar questions, but am hoping my particular concern would be answered for more than anything peace of mind ..
about 3 weeks ago I went to a small barber shop for a haircut and a shave (this is the first time i have got a shave outside) . I am not afraid of the razor , but later noticed a small shaving cut on my neck which was bleeding, and the barber used his fingers to wipe away the shaving cream after each shave stroke , I did not notice any cuts on his hand , but if there were a bleeding cut on his hand also .. is there a risk ??
Thank you very much in advance . I know similar questions have been answered but my paranoid, sometimes irrational mind keeps me up at night with anxiety.

Thank You for the answers and sorry for the follow up question.. paranoia i guess.. I got it now .. small cut on cut contact is no risk... thanks :)
teak DID read your post before assessing you. in that post you stated that the barber wiped your neck.
you had NO risk
you had NO risk
just to confirm ..no risk even if cuts briefly came into contact while his fingers wiped my neck ? (sorry ..this will be my last question on this thread)
Thank You Sir for taking the time to answer my question. I was paranoid for a long time because I was afraid that a possible bleeding cut on cut contact may have been a risk.
Thank you again very much !
Thank you again very much !
