TIL most barbers don't properly sanitize their clippers between clients

Honestly I was reading a thread on a barbering forum last night and a guy posted a stat that said something like 70% of barbers only wipe their clippers with a dry cloth between cuts. I was shook because I thought everyone used the spray disinfectant at least. Then I started thinking about my own shop and realized I've seen guys skip it when they're in a rush. I looked up the actual OSHA guidelines for barber tools and turns out you're supposed to soak them in barbicide for at least 10 minutes between clients. Has anyone else noticed this being a problem at chain shops or is it just the busy ones?

What worked for me was bringing my own little bottle of spray to my barber.

Bet your barber secretly judges your DIY chemistry lab skills though.
