Why is more blades more common on Razors but one is considered better?

2.32K viewsOther

So I’ve seen ones that’s use safety Razors and others that are just built into a handle. But I think there is more blades it is supposed to be safer? But one blade gets you a better shave, but all the commercials show more blades get better shaves.

How does all of this work?

Multi bladed razors are marketing fluff and do not work for everyone, but they’re easy to make and are a money printing machine. For those of us with curly hair a safety razor is the only option. I switched around 6 years ago and haven’t had an ingrown hair since.

Multi bladed razors progressively tug at a hair, exposing more of the follicle that would have been under the surface of the skin and increase the risk of infection and ingrown hairs. A single bladed razor cuts at the skin’s surface , eliminating the chance of ingrown hairs. You might have to shave more often depending on your growth, but there’s less of a penalty for doing so
