<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe other difference in razor blades is coatings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coatings are applied to stainless steel razor blades to help increase the durability and smoothness during the shaving process. Without coatings, razor blades don\u2019t glide as easily when they come into contact with skin. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are three razor blade coatings that provide different properties to the razor blade: platinum, chromium, and tungsten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most popular razor blade coating is platinum. Razorblade manufacturers prefer platinum because it imparts durability while providing a smooth coating.<\/strong> Its price point makes the razor blades slightly more expensive, but it has become an industry standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBesides platinum, there is also chromium. Chromium is used for a mostly cosmetic effect.<\/strong> It has the same properties as platinum, more or less, but it is shinier and smoother than platinum. If you want a smooth shave, be on the lookout for chromium-coated blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLast, but certainly not least, is a tungsten-coated razor blade. Tungsten coating provides the classic, smooth feel that the other coatings provide. However, it is also stronger than steel, adding more durability to the razor.<\/strong> If you\u2019re someone who likes to get a couple of shaves out of their razor blade before tossing it, be sure to give a tungsten-coated blade a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shaving with a safety razor is an affordable, efficient way to shave.
