FAQs
Are these blades pre-cut half blades?
Yes, the Derby Premium 100 Single Edge Blades are pre-cut half razor blades, designed to fit directly into shavettes and certain single edge razors without needing to be snapped.
How many shaves can I get from one blade?
The number of shaves varies greatly depending on individual beard thickness, shaving frequency, and technique. Many users report getting 3-7 comfortable shaves per blade. It's recommended to change the blade once it starts to feel dull or tug.
Can I use these in a standard double-edge safety razor?
No, these blades are specifically designed for shavette-style razors and single edge razors. They are not compatible with traditional double-edge safety razors.
How should I store unused blades?
Store unused blades in their original packaging, in a dry place, away from humidity and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets.
What is the best way to dispose of used blades?
Used blades should always be disposed of safely in a dedicated blade bank or a sturdy, puncture-proof container (like an old tin can or plastic bottle) that can be sealed. Do not dispose of loose blades in regular household trash.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull or causes tugging.
Ensure the blade is new. If it is, consider your shaving technique – apply less pressure, use a fresh lather, or shave with the grain. If the problem persists, the blade might be defective; replace it.
Razor feels unbalanced or blade is loose.
Re-check the blade insertion. Make sure the blade is correctly seated and fully secured within your shavette or single edge razor. Ensure all parts of the razor are tightened properly.
Experiencing irritation or nicks.
This could be due to a number of factors: dull blade (replace it), incorrect shaving angle (aim for a shallow angle, around 30 degrees), too much pressure, or insufficient skin preparation. Always use a good pre-shave routine and fresh lather.
Difficulty loading the blade into the razor.
Familiarize yourself with your specific razor's loading mechanism. Some shavettes require the blade to slide in, while others have a clip or hinge. Practice with an old blade if necessary, always handling the blade by its dull sides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open Your Razor: Carefully open the mechanism of your shavette or single edge razor. This usually involves separating the two halves of the blade holder.
- Insert Blade: Gently take one Derby Premium Single Edge Blade from its wrapper. Holding it by the dull edges, align the blade with the pins or guides in your razor.
- Secure Blade: Close your razor's mechanism, ensuring the blade is firmly seated and secure. It should not wiggle or feel loose.
- Inspect: Always double-check that the blade is perfectly straight and evenly exposed before shaving.
Compatibility:
These blades are specifically designed for:
- Shavette razors: Razors that use half of a double-edge blade or purpose-built single-edge blades.
- Single Edge razors: Razors designed to accept a single, full-length blade.
*Please note*: These blades are not compatible with traditional double-edge safety razors that require a full double-edge blade.
Care & Maintenance:
- Rinse After Use: After each shave, carefully rinse the razor head and blade under running water to remove soap and hair residue.
- Dry: Gently pat dry the razor and blade (or allow to air dry) to prevent rust and maintain blade hygiene.
- Safe Disposal: Always dispose of used blades safely in a blade bank or a thick, puncture-proof container. Never discard loose blades in regular trash. This is crucial for safety.
