Could you get infectious diseases from barber?


I went to the a new barber today. It looked like he used some disinfectant, but it only was sprayed a little on the clippers for a brief period of time. He used new razors to shave my sideburns. He was rather rough with a foil cutter on my neck. So, if nothing penetrated the skin, just roughed it up. could you get anything?
Thanks, and please post serious and mature answers

Anything is possible of course, not probable though. He did follow a sterilization course so, I wouldn't think you'd get anything while he was rough he didn't break the skin. Next time tell him to "cool it" on the roughness.
This is way I go to my wife's hairdresser, she's quite gentle.

It is possible but I really think you are over reacting!

You're fine, dude. Don't even sweat it.

No

If he's sick, sure... Colds, flu, etc...

Yes, you could get ringworm. Ringworm is a fungus that is transferred easily from person to person. That is why barbers put the disinfectant on the tools they use to cut hair. Be glad your barber uses the disinfectant, some don't. Usually foil razors won't break skin.
