FAQs
Are these blades compatible with all safety razors?
Yes, they are standard double-edge blades compatible with all standard safety razors.
How many shaves can I get from one blade?
Most users report between 3 and 7 shaves per blade, depending on beard density and maintenance.
Why are these blades considered 'aggressive'?
Their extreme sharpness allows them to remove hair very efficiently, which can be irritating if the razor angle is incorrect or pressure is applied.
Do I need special skin prep for these blades?
While not strictly required, using a high-quality shaving soap or pre-shave oil is highly recommended given the sharpness of the blade.
How should I dispose of used blades safely?
Use a dedicated blade bank or a sharps container to keep household members safe during disposal.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels rough or tugs against skin
Ensure your shaving angle is correct (usually 30 degrees) and verify that you are not applying pressure.
Visible nicks or cuts
The blade is extremely sharp; reduce pressure further and ensure your skin is well-lubricated with quality lather.
Blade corrodes quickly
Ensure the blade is removed from the razor and rinsed, or at the very least, shaken dry after use to prevent standing water in the razor head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, unscrew the head of your standard safety razor, place the blade on the posts, and secure the head firmly. Ensure that the blade is aligned symmetrically before tightening. After each shave, rinse the razor under warm water to clear away soap scum and hair buildup. Pat the razor dry with a clean towel rather than wiping the blade edge directly to prevent dulling or accidental nicks. Always store your razor in a dry location to prolong the life of the blade and prevent oxidation.
