TAIPEI, Taiwan
-- What is the most germ-infested item
in the house? Is it the pillow, the scooter
helmet, the razor or the keyboard? According
to a study done by Full City Co., Ltd.,
it's the shaving razor.
The Full Circle Ltd company, an agent
of anti-germ devices has completed a germ-content
survey of top 10 daily-use articles by
using the ATP hygiene monitoring system
to check the volume of germs on solid
items.

Findings of the survey show
that the shaving razor contains 1.272
million germs. The mask was second with
322,748 germs, and the toothbrush takes
third place with 251,057 germs.
Pillow covers takes fourth
place with 180,471 germs, followed by
helmets with 178,013 germs, towels with
176,785 germs, the telephone receiver
with 135,591 germs, the keyboard with
24,520 germs, the powder puff has 24,291
germs and in tenth place, the toilet seat,
with only 10,157 germs found. That means
that the shaving razor has 125x the bacterial
count found on the average toilet seat.
A doctor at the Taipei Medical
University said people can hardly imagine
that the germ volume of shaving razor
is more than 100 times that of toilet
seat, but he did concede that germs on
flakes of skin may stay on the razor after
shaving.
