Thank you so much @loribmt and @scottij for your advice regarding shaving. You both gave me confidence to use a razor, which is my preference. (I will purchase some alcohol). Lori, did I read somewhere that you also rinse your toothbrush in alcohol too?

I do rinse my toothbrush in alcohol. I don’t know if it’s really necessary but it’s a little trick I picked up as an infection control coordinator for our dental clinic. I got back into the habit of rinsing my toothbrush nightly while going through chemo and transplant but now just a couple times per week.

I think you don’t have to obsess over things, just use a common sense approach to hygiene and keeping bathroom items clean. You’re immunocompromised but you still have an active immune system. ☺️
