Eli5: Why do shaving razor blades become dull?

395 views

I saw a video once of how a razor blade starts getting dull after just one shave. It doesn’t seem like it should be the case if it’s literally just cutting hair.

If you will dry off your blade after using it will last up to six times longer. I use blades from Dollar Shave Club the one with 5 or 6 blades. Before I would get 4 or 5 shaves before having to get a new new one. Now that I dry it off I get a 20 to thirty shaves out of one blade.
