The new razorblades as well as the older, are the ones with the biggest risk of getting hurt. So why are there no razorblades that are not to sharp, but just sharp enough? And there should be some indicator or mark that vanishes after using and tells you when it's time to get a new one.

Also, wouldn't a 'just sharp enough' razor blade become a 'way too blunt' blade in a shorter space of time? |
|

I want Immac For Men. How come that isn't baked? |
|
| |
I'm sure companies would love to market half-blunt razor blades if they thought they could get away with it, which should tell you this idea won't work. |
|
| |
p'stu, believe me you don't want Immac - it really stinks. What you want is waxing. Waxing is the way forward. We girls do it to legs, pubes, underarms, face if necessary... definitely value for money. |

[PS] Despite the logic of 'the sharper the better' , my experience with that is different. Allmost every time I use a new blade, I get hurt. And especially at the risky spots. |
|
| |
And [pottedstu], that's just a matter of marketing. If you place it with a slogan like 'never get hurt again!', it will sell. And not when you tell 'the blunter, the better!'. |

I once saw a patent for a blade formed from a piece of metal whose crystal domains had been formed such that, as the blade was used, the pieces that would break off would leave behind a shape identical to the original sharp edge. |

I agree with you , [BartJan]. I find that, with a new blade, it's easier to cut one's elf, and with an old one, it's impossible to get a good shave. There's a window of opportunity which is all too small. |
|

I can't remember the last time I cut myself wet shaving. Have you considered using a different razor? I use one of those protector thingies. |
|
| |
[alx]- I use the Gilette Mach3 (what's in a name), but before that I used the Wilkinsin Protector, the one you mean. No cuts indeed, but allso no good shaving result! |
|
| |
I'm wondering about the elf that [angel] is cutting... |
|
| |
Poor elf. Maybe elves and angels just don't get along. |
|
| |
Unsharp blades suck. Ask PS. The blade has to be sharp, the sharper the better. And the razor must form it to the correct shape - a bowed, convex shape with the center sticking out. This way, the cutting edge becomes rigid and holds its shape while cutting hair. |

BJ should try a different razor. I believe that is what is causing the problem he describes. |
