Blade Buying Tips

What Matters Most

✔️ Sharpness vs smoothness —

Sharper blades give closer shaves but may be harsher for sensitive skin; smoother blades feel gentler but may require more passes. 

✔️ Personal preference is key —

Everyone’s beard and skin react differently. If you’re new to DE shaving, trying a few types can help you find the perfect match. 

✔️ Change blades regularly —

A fresh blade every 3–7 shaves keeps your shave smooth and reduces irritation. Many wet shavers change after each shave or every few shaves, depending on usage. 

 Blade Packs & Value Options

  • RK Shaving Stainless Steel 100 Pack – Great value for frequent shavers. 
  • Smaller 5-Blade Packs – Perfect for trying out a new brand before committing.
