why are the lubricating strips on shaving razors AFTER the blades?

567 views

If the lubricating strips are meant to help the blades move over your skin more easily, then why are they placed after the blades? I’ve noticed this with multiple brands – including some major ones. Am I missing something or is this a crappy design thing?

During the first pass, the hairs are long enough to keep the blade from actually touching your skin.
