Eli5: Why do shaving razor blades become dull?

405 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.

It’s because they are engineered to do so. If razor blades never dulled, then you’d never have to buy more, and the company would go out of business.
