If you have an old razor that\u2019s been sitting around for a while and you aren\u2019t sure whether or not it\u2019s sharp enough, you may want to test it to make sure it is. Using a dull blade when shaving can irritate your skin and be the cause of some common shaving nuisances like bumps or razor burn. It\u2019s important to make sure your razor blade is adequately sharpened before use, as it will dull over time as it\u2019s used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what style of razor you’re using, the best indicator of whether your blade is too dull is how it feels when you have with it: a dull razor pulls at hair or feels rough on the skin; a sharp razor will give a smooth, even shave without irritation. Depending on the type of razor you’re using, the blade is likely to dull after 3-5 shaves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will go over how to test if your straight, disposable, or safety blade is sharp enough. We\u2019ll also answer some basic sharpness questions and go into more detail on them as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
