Classic razor blades are an integral part of a traditional wet shave that uses a safety razor or interchangeable blade knife. These blades are available in different versions, with two of the most common variants being the platinum coated blades and the stainless steel blades. Here are the differences and features of both types:
Platinum coated blades
- Coating for superior sharpness:Platinum-coated blades are characterized by their exceptional sharpness. The wafer-thin platinum coating gives them a razor-like edge that glides smoothly and precisely through beards or hair.
- Smooth and skin-friendly shave:Due to their sharpness, these blades offer a particularly smooth shave. This makes them ideal for people with sensitive skin as they minimize skin irritation and razor burn.
Stainless steel blades
- Durable and Rust Resistant:Rustproof blades are made of stainless steel and are resistant to corrosion. They are durable and typically do not rust, which increases their durability.
- Versatile and Affordable:These blades are versatile and suitable for different types of shaving. They are also often cheaper than platinum-coated blades.
- General sharpness:Compared to platinum-coated blades, stainless blades may not be as extremely sharp. This could lead to a less smooth shave and cause skin irritation on sensitive skin.
Choosing between these two types of blades depends on personal preferences and needs. If you prefer a particularly smooth and skin-friendly shave, you could choose platinum-coated blades. For those who prefer a more cost-effective and durable option and don't want to change blades as often, stainless blades are a solid choice. In any case, the choice of blades should contribute to a pleasant and effective shaving experience.
When should the razor blade be replaced?
The frequency with which you should replace razor blades in a safety razor or interchangeable blade depends on several factors, including your shaving habits, your hair types, and your blade choice. However, in general, there are a few signs that indicate it's time to replace the razor blade:
- Reduced sharpness:If you notice that the blade is no longer as sharp as it was when you started and you need to apply more pressure to achieve the desired shaving result, it is time to change the blade.
- Tugging and pulling:If the blade begins to tug or pull on the hair instead of cutting it smoothly, this is a sign of a worn blade.
- Skin irritations:If you notice increased skin irritation, razor burn, or ingrown hairs after shaving, this may indicate a worn blade.
- Discoloration or rust:For stainless blades, rust formation can be a sign that the blade needs to be replaced.
- Frequency of shaving:Depending on how often you shave, the lifespan of a blade can vary. Daily shaving typically requires more frequent blade replacements than occasional shaving.
It is important to note that there is no hard and fast rule for how often blades should be replaced as it varies from person to person. Some people can get by with a blade for weeks, while others may need to replace it after a few uses. It is advisable to pay attention to the above signs and replace the blade if you notice that the shave is no longer satisfactory or your skin becomes irritated. This contributes to an efficient and comfortable shave.
How can I properly dispose of razor blades?
To dispose of the razor blade safely, we recommend wrapping it in a piece of paper before throwing it in the trash. This ensures that no one accidentally comes into contact with the blade. Razor blades in a plastic dispenser have a reservoir on the bottom for the safe collection of used blades.

That is our opinion
For us, shaving bowls are more than just accessories. They are a must for men who value a well-groomed wet shave. A shaving bowl not only makes it easier to mix shaving soap or cream, but also gives the act of shaving a certain elegance. A shaving bowl ensures that you can apply the shaving foam perfectly to ensure a close and gentle shave.
