I think it was Neil Miller that recommended running it over the Alum block, if it kills bacteria on your face then it should work on the brush which made sense to me. I have used shampoo in the past and also and tried Fairy liquid and they seem to work just as well as Borax; I bought the Borax to see if it worked better and it doesn't seem to be noticeably better but I will keep using that till it is done.
I don't get too hung up about sanitising or sterilising any of the shaving equipment but it all gets a clean now and again but with any regularity, just when I can be bothered or if I notice soap scum starting to build up. I do like keeping the shaving kit in good order, I have seen some M3 handles that are so thick with scum they look like they have stirred emulsion with them and I think that is grotty and just lazy. I would worry about picking some of them up them let alone putting them near my face.
I have never used boiling water so can't agree or disagree, I would stick to warm water and cleaning with soap, shampoo or other stuff that will dissolve the soap scum.
