Razor blades

Modern men are quite lucky, because they do not need to wrestle with what to remove the annoying stubble from the face, as most of their ancestors had to do. The range of razors is so large that to pick the best option is quite simple. But quite often representatives of the stronger sex choose not reusable machines and electric machines - convenient assistants to the process of removing unwanted vegetation on the body, but razors using a reusable razor blade, which the men who lived at the dawn of the twentieth century skillfully wore.

The first blades in the world saw the light in the late 90s of the nineteenth century. This significant event happened thanks to an inventor named King Camp Gillette, after whom the whole company was named. The man was the first to develop a technique for the manufacture of blades with sharply sharpened edges of the thinnest sheet of steel. The product immediately created a sensation and became very popular. Its main advantage was that of necessity it was quickly replaced and the machine became sharp again.

Moreover, the blade itself was relatively inexpensive. As a result, razors with disposable stainless steel cutting plates very quickly drove the razors out of the market, and many consumers have not yet wondered for a year: why do blades of razors, because they have a great alternative!

Shaving blades from the moment of their invention and still have not changed their appearance. It is still a flat metal plate with perfectly sharp edge sharpening on both sides and a hole to be installed in the machine. Depending on the manufacturer, the thickness of the blades may vary. Hair removal products are usually packed in small paper envelopes. In this case, the cutting side never touches the wrapper. Usually in the package fits 5-10 envelopes.

The obvious advantages of blades include:

1. maximum contact guarantee with the upper layer of the epidermis;
2. quality shaving;
3. minimum irritation rate

In the modern world, not only the representatives of the strong half of humanity, but also the young ladies are concerned about the removal of excess vegetation on the body. That is why manufacturers of razors offer disposable models of shaving tools, both male and female. There are also reusable machines with replaceable cartridges. They differ in the number of blades and the presence on top of a special strip for comfortable swimming heads.

There is no single rule for choosing the perfect blade, and in order to decide on this, you will have to try many options on your own body.

The modern market for hair removal products is replete with a variety of different offers. The most popular are the Gillette companies, in particular, the models “Fusion”, “Powe” r and “Mach3”, TM Venus, Perma-Sharp Super. Domestic manufacturers of the most recognizable names such as Schick, Sputnik, Big, production Auchan also does not lag behind. In such a wide range it is difficult not to get confused.

Experts do not recommend using only one blade - there are moments when a defective copy comes across in the package, and the brand opinion deteriorates due to one unsuccessful shave. It is also worth experimenting with machine tools, because when changing a razor, the shaving process changes completely.

Those who first decided to use classic blades for hair removal, you need to be patient and shave very carefully, but carefully. Machine tools with reusable removable cassettes harm yourself is almost impossible, but double-sided razors are often the culprits of cuts. For many, at first it’s scary to clean their hair like a razor. To gain confidence, you should familiarize yourself with the rules for using such a unit. Use a razor blade in this way:

1. Moisturizing shaving brush with warm water. Thanks to this procedure, his bristles are softened, and the shaving process brings more pleasure. All the hairs are well raised, which means that shaving will be much cleaner.
2. Deletion excessive moisture with a shaving brush and applying a cream or shaving foam on it. With light circular motions, the cosmetic is applied to the area where the vegetation will be removed.
3. Shaving. The machine should be held on the cheek with a slope of about 30 °. Take him down. Repeat the manipulation again.

Against the growth of stubble wield a razor more often not worth it - it threatens the appearance of ingrown hair.

It does not matter if the Japanese, Iranian double-sided Nacet blades were chosen or any other, as long as they did not turn out to be fake.

If you look at the razor blade under a microscope, it is not difficult to see that it has teeth. When the razor is blunt, these teeth are grinded and stick in different directions. Only sharpening restores everything to its original state.

To grind Gillette, you can buy a special grinding tool, for example, Razorpit - sharpener for shaving cartridges of all systems. You can also use the tips of craftsmen, who offer three ways at once to restore the cassette of the Gillette machine:

• sharpening foil;
• leather belt;
• jeans.

One time you can try one option, another time - another. Feather blades can also be sharpened by folk methods. But still it is better to use a special grinder, which is called - sharpener for razor blades. She sharpens any blade.

Buying razor blades for both the domestic brand, for example, Sputnik, and foreign Zaza is only half the battle. It is important to know how to care for the product. The main tips include:

1. The blade should always be kept in a clean place. After all, the health of its owner directly depends on this factor - hygiene is paramount. After use, wash the shaver thoroughly with hot water. It is believed that the life of the blade depends on the frequency of washing the blade. If the razor becomes clogged, the quality of the hair removal and the sharpness of the cutting insert itself deteriorate. The best way to clean the blade is to rinse the machine under running water.
2. At the end of the shaving process, the blade must be dried well. This is done for longer storage of the product. Excessive moisture provokes the appearance of rust, and other parts of the razor quickly deteriorate. Therefore after use the unit needs to be blotted with a napkin or a clean towel.
3. To further protect the blade, experts advise the use of special oils. This procedure will require only a few drops of the binder. Alternatively, you can replace the product with essential or baby oil. In addition, processing a small amount of alcohol will be helpful. Thus, it is possible to sterilize and prevent the occurrence of corrosion.
4. It does not matter what the thickness of the blade and whose production, the main rule of good work - its timely replacement. In most cases, the blade has a special colored stripe. Its thinning is a sign that the product has to be thrown out.Although it happens that the band is erased much earlier than expected. In such a situation, the quick erasure of the strip means that the blade is improperly cared for.

On the blade of the same manufacturer there are a variety of reviews - someone likes them, other users are outraged and say that the products are stupid and do not work well. The reason for such conflicting comments can be trite buying fakes. If the blade quality, then, as a rule, they have no negative reviews. Consumers are especially praised by Gillette.

But this point is controversial, since one Gillette blade serves no less than a few blades of other products of unknown firms.

Also plays a role and features of the body of each person. The tougher the bristles, the faster the blades will be blunt.
