The standard size blade fits all safety double edge razors as well as shavette razors — simply break the blade in half along the long axis. On average, each plate stays sharp for up to 7—8 uses. After the third or fourth use, disassemble the razor and flip the blade over. This simple technique will help you enjoy a better shave for longer.
The 4-layer coating on the stainless steel base prevents rust and prevents the cutting edge from wearing too quickly:
- Chromium — does not react chemically with foam or soap, and enhances edge strength and hardness;
- Ceramic — its thin layer unites the particles of the composite coating, turning it into a whole;
- platinum — particles of the noble metal on the tip allow you to achieve unrivaled sharpness and avoid rounding of the edge after the first shave;
- Tungsten — enhances moisture repellency and reduces the coefficient of friction, which minimizes the risk of burns.
