The razor itself plays an important role in getting quality shave. When
looking to get a good razor, you should look out for...
Blade Count
The more the number of blades, the better it is - right? Well
experience has thought us that this is not always true. For instance, in a
cartridge razor with multiple blades, the shaves are less deep and close than a
conventional DE razor. This is one of the advantages the DE razor has over
other cartridge razor.
Blade Specifications
Many people do not realize that razor blades so have certain
specifications. They usually differ from one brand to another and also within
the same brand. We can see such difference in model types. These specifications
include coating, metallurgy, grinding, etc.
Blade Angle
Razor blades are designed with angles ranging from 30° to 45°. A blade with a
steeper angle is more aggressive while a blade with shallow angle is very mild
but comfortable. You wouldn't want a shallow angled blade and this is why good
DE razors are designed with steep angles.
Price
While DE razors use only two blades, they can still be expensive if you
settled for an expensive razor. The price of blades varies in the market and is
usually a function of brand and construction material. This doesn't mean there
are no quality blades at a cheaper price. As a matter of fact, the Vikings
Blade is a brand that defies such statement. When buying razors, always settle
for one that fits just right into your budget.
