Most men shave daily and women shave several times a week, if not daily. All use a razor of some kind, be it a straight razor, an electric razor or a disposable razor. All people find the experience most satisfactory when the tool is razor sharp. The issue is in keeping the blade sharp. For many, that involves merely replacing the dull blade with a new sharp one. However, this procedure can be quite expensive. It is true that disposable razors are quite inexpensive, but over time the costs do add up.You can self-service your blades to renew them. There are many ways to “sharpen” blades but the question is how to accomplish this efficiently?
Why Do Some People Prefer Shaving with Very Sharp Razors?
Some people prefer very sharp blades to have the closest shaving experience possible with a light touch. With razor sharp blades, there is very little tugging and the task is completed without shaving the same spot over and over to end up with a clean shave. However, there are the people who prefer duller blades because when they use very sharp blades they tend to nick themselves.
Your hair type can determine what type of blade is most suitable for you. If it is coarse or longer, you will need a sharper edge. If your skin is rough, has acne, other sores, or is sensitive, you will have fewer problems with a less aggressive blade. And if you are a beginner, it is best to start with a duller blade until you acquire the very light touch needed for sharp blades.
