The Aggressiveness of a Double Edge Razor

The best way to describe what aggressiveness is all about is to link it to how a razor feels on your skin when shaving. The word has had many razor users confused as they do not know if aggressiveness is a good or bad thing. When it comes to aggressiveness, it's neither a good or bad thing but more so an individual preference. There are people that prefer mild aggressive razors to heavily aggressive once. To better understand it, blades will be discussed as mild aggressive, medium aggressive, and aggressive.

Mild Aggressive

The mildness of a razor is as a result of the design of the blades in relation to the razor itself. Such razors usually have a smaller blade gap that exposes a small part of the double edge razor. The safety bar also has a wider angle to ensure minimal contact with the skin. With this design, the possibility of cuts and irritation is greatly reduced. This makes such blades an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin or beginners. This type of blade will not be effective for thick beards. To get a good shave, the user would have to work a particular area several times. Not only is this frustrating, it may start to tug on the hair over time.

Medium Aggressive

In this type of blades, the blade gap is fairly on the average and exposes edged good part of the double edge blade. The safety bar is of normal standard and this blade is the balance point between mild aggressive and aggressive blades. The Vikings Blade falls under this category and with its imbedded micro-comb feature, accidental cuts are eliminated.

Aggressive


In this type of blade, the gap is very large and exposes a greater part of the blade. This allows for more hair to get into the gap and ensure better shaves. The only issue with this type of blade is that it could cause irritations and cuts if not properly used.
