Merkur Razor Blades

The MERKUR SUPER blade is a classic double-edge blade made of stainless steel with a platinum coating. There is no fixed period for the durability, as the firmness and density of the whiskers can differ too much. The classic blades in connection with a safety razor are usually more economical cost-wise than system blades. Just like a straight razor blade, the double-edge blade’s cutting edge is very fine and elastic. That is why it must never be wiped off, and should be used for a shave no more than once a day. The ridge needs to straighten up, otherwise it will break off and the blade will become dull quickly. If the shave causes tiny injuries, it is an indicator that the blade is worn out and must be replaced.

The Importance of a High-Quality Razor Blade

A good razor blade is the centerpiece of every wet shave. It significantly determines how smooth and comfortable the shave will be. Dull or dirty blades can cause skin irritations, cuts, and an unsatisfying shaving result. Therefore, it’s important to pay attention to signs indicating that a blade needs to be replaced – for example, when shaving starts to feel uncomfortable, pulling, or tearing.

Tips for Extending the Life of the Blades

To extend the durability of your blades and ensure optimal performance, please consider the following tips:

  • Regular Rinsing: Removing soap residue and hairs during shaving is crucial to keep the razor blades sharp and prevent dulling. A clean set of razor blades ensures a smoother shave and minimizes skin irritations.
  • Keeping Dry: After each shave, the razor blades should be thoroughly dried. Moisture can damage the razor blades and promote rust formation. Carefully drying the blades after use significantly extends the lifespan of the razor blades.
  • Storage: It is essential to store your razor blades in a dry place. Moisture is the biggest enemy of razor blades. By storing the razor outside the bathroom in a closed cabinet or drawer, you protect the razor blades from moisture and extend their durability.
  • Using Shaving Gel or Foam: Applying a high-quality shaving gel or foam reduces the friction between the skin and the razor blades. Special hint: it helps to minimize the wear of the razor blades and ensures a gentler shave if you apply some oil on the wet skin underneath the shaving lather.

By following these tips, you can not only extend the lifespan of your razor blades but also ensure a consistently high-quality shave.
