00:00 Best DE Razor Blades Introduction

A fine shave is one of the best ways to mentally prepare yourself for anything the day might throw at you. In our opinion, wet shaving with a double-edged razor offers the best possible shaving experience in most cases.

Keep in mind that shaving is a deeply personal experience. “The best” blade will vary based on many factors including shaving routine, hair type, and skin sensitivity.

02:25 Blade Characteristics
Price
Durability & Coatings
Country of Origin

06:20 Important Factors for the Shaving Experience
Hair type
Hair length
Skin Type
Skill level

All of these realities can directly affect which blade you should use, principally as related to the blade’s sharpness. A good, sharp blade is essential for a close shave but sharper is not always better. Practically speaking, appropriate sharpness can also be related directly to skill level.
