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

545 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?

You probably don’t need extra lubrication during the first move – you have shaving cream. It’s the second move that might need lubrication.
