Don't forget that "metal" is not the same as "iron." You could very
well
make hand razors out of titanium, which doesn't contain iron (unlike
steel, which can contain anything from about 60% to 99% iron). Such metals
wouldn't trigger the allergic reaction.
It could be asking for disaster, though. Sort of like wearing a plastic
raincoat over your other clothes when you have a plastic allergy (if
it's not touching your skin anywhere, it should be fine), and then getting
a load of buckshot fired into you...
