Description
These Merkur 201 Corn Razor Blades come in one package of 10 disposable small blades. The longer edge is 1.3 inches, and the narrow edge is .98 inches. Merkur makes these in Solingen, Germany.
These razor blades are for use in the Corn Razor. Interestingly, the first known occurrence of the term “safety razor” appeared in 1880.
In the 1900s, the double-edge safety razor was invented. Consequently, this popularized the safety razor. Additionally, the disposable blade did not require stropping. This decreased the need to have a cutler hone one’s blades.
The new razor used a disposable blade with two sharpened edges. Safety Razors became the predominant style of razor during and after World War I. That is when the US Army began issuing shaving kits to its servicemen.
A quality blade in a good safety razor can help reduce irritation when you are shaving. Also, you will get a close shave. That one blade is there for one thing – to cut hair. The safety razor gets right to business.
The blade will slice right through the hair. A thirty-degree angle is best. Because there’s only one blade, you will get a fraction of the potential irritation that you could get with a multi-bladed cartridge.
And as always, the Merkur 201 Corn Razor Blades are available for purchase in the store or online. In fact, we offer free shipping for online orders over $100.00.
