As a shaving enthusiast, I&#8217;ve often wondered about this myself, and have explored the pros and cons of this practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I was looking to potentially save money by flipping my blade over and getting a couple of extra shaves out of the blade. However, considering that razor blades are relatively inexpensive, one might argue that the hassle of flipping the blade over might not be worth the effort for just 1 or 2 extra shaves &#8211; even for the best safety razor blades out there. Additionally, flipping the blade could potentially compromise the sharpness and effectiveness of the cutting edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, I&#8217;ve also read that switching sides of the razor can help minimize stress on the blades and provide a fresher edge for each stroke, which could lead to a more consistent and enjoyable shaving experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personally, I&#8217;ve found that flipping the blade on a double-edge safety razor provides no real benefit and doesn&#8217;t really help the blade to last any longer. In nearly every case, you are better off simply switching out the blade than trying to extend a razor blade past its normal life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because double edge <a href=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/rusty-razor-blade\/\" target=\"_blank\">razor blades are cheap<\/a>, why go through the hassle of flipping the blade over to get one, maybe two more shaves? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gillette 7 O\u2019Clock razors cost about $0.17 per blade. At that price, do you want to take the time to extend the life of the razor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider saving yourself the time and just <a href=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/why-do-i-bleed-every-time-i-shave-my-face-cuts-nicks-irritation\/\" target=\"_blank\">swap blades every 3-5 shaves<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Should You Flip the Blade on a Double-Edge Safety Razor\" class=\"wp-image-2940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-2048x1365.png 2048w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-960x640.png 960w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-1080x720.png 1080w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Should-You-Flip-the-Blade-on-a-Double-Edge-Safety-Razor-1200x800.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_way_up_does_a_razor_blade_go\"><\/span>Which way up does a razor blade go?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you place a razor blade in a safety razor, you might be wondering if there is a correct way that the razor blade goes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For nearly every double-edge razor blade, it doesn&#8217;t matter which way you put the blade in because they will cut the same no matter what.

While there may be some benefit to flipping razor blades, it won\u2019t be worth it in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advocates for flipping razor blades on safety razors say that over time, a razor blade can develop a small burr if it is used for multiple shaves. If you flip the razor, you may be able to eliminate the burr and return a sharp edge to your razor blade.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may extend the life of your razor, it will save you time and energy to just swap out your old razor blade for a new one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_strop_your_razor_blades_between_each_shave\"><\/span>Should you strop your razor blades between each shave?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While flipping your razor blade may prolong the life of the blade, stropping your razor blades can be a more effective way of increasing its mileage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By running your safety razor blades against a strop, you can alter the razor\u2019s edge. This means, with certain limitations, that you can increase the life of a razor blade.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons that a razor blade can get dull is because a burr develops on the razor\u2019s edge. A burr is when the metal curls and eliminates the cutting edge. Similar to how flipping a razor can bring a sharp edge back to an old safety razor blade, stopping the blade is a much more efficient way of getting rid of a burr.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-1024x683.png\" alt=\"close up of a razor strop\" class=\"wp-image-2943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-2048x1365.png 2048w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-960x640.png 960w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-1080x720.png 1080w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/close-up-of-a-razor-strop-1200x800.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may seem like a great idea at first, consider how much extra time and effort you are expending to increase the life of a $0.17 razor blade. If you have the time and you enjoy sharpening knives, then perhaps stropping your razor blade in between uses can be a fun activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you\u2019re short on time, consider tossing the razor blade once you realize that it is dull and not providing a proper shave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a quick video demonstration that explains how to strop a double-edge razor blade if you aren&#8217;t sure how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stropping a double edge razor blade\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Du7AXWFbuAs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_replace_your_double-edge_razor_blade\"><\/span>When to replace your double-edge razor blade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing when to replace the blade in a double-edge safety razor can be a bit subjective, as it depends on several factors, such as hair type, shaving frequency, and blade quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how I determine when it&#8217;s time for a new blade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dullness or tugging:<\/strong>&nbsp;If the blade starts to feel dull, tugs at my hair, or causes skin irritation, it&#8217;s time to change the blade.

Rust can cause irritation or infection when shaving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shave count:<\/strong>&nbsp;Generally, I get between 3-5 quality shaves per blade.
