Why One Blade Is Better Than Five
Let’s forget about razor handles and different brands. There’s marketing for why this razor is
better than any you’ve ever tried. And let’s focus on blades – specifically comparing one
super sharp blade to multiple cartridge blades.
How could one blade ever compare to five?
How multiple-blade razors work
The whole premise behind adding multiple blades to a razor was to
lift and cut the hair beneath the surface of your skin. The first blade
lifts the hair and the subsequent blades cut below the surface of
the skin, giving you a close shave.
The issue? When you shave below the surface of the skin, you
leave your skin vulnerable to ingrown hairs. And multiple sharp
edges create more friction with your face. And friction leads to
razor burn and irritation.
How a single blade razor works
On the other side of the spectrum, a single blade razor will shave at
the surface of our skin, giving you an extremely close shave without
the risk of ingrown hairs and irritation. With just one blade, there’s less
friction, so less irritation and razor burn.
So, why would companies continue to add blades and market it as a
better shave?
The “science” behind multiple blades
To answer that question, you have to understand the “science”
given by companies who create multi-blade razors. Most people
assume more blades is better, but that’s because we’ve literally had
billions of dollars of marketing telling us this for the past 30 years.
The fact is that the only “science” that supports the theory that
multi-blade razors provide a superior shave to single blade razors is
funded by the largest and most profitable multi-blade razor
manufacturer on the planet. Questionable, at best.
Think about it for a minute. Where is the quintessential place you go to
get the best shave possible? Your barber. And what does he use to do
it? A single blade.
In the absence of clear scientific results, the only way to know what
works for you is to experience them. We’re here to let our customers’
results speak for themselves. These are unbiased, unedited real
reviews. And we have thousands of them.
