Thread: My razor is too sharp???? I like a duller edge??

Larry do you maybe think it is more you adjust your technique to the edge, rather than they get duller?????

That is a possibility that I haven't thought about before. Maybe.

I read a day or two ago that when you analyze the residue coming off any razor of any type, there is more epithelial tissue (skin) in it than most think. We are literally shaving off the topmost layer of our dead skin when we shave. Even though I might be adjusting my shave technique when my blade becomes slightly duller, my best guess is that a slightly duller blade doesn't dig quite as deep into this top layer of skin cells. But, still shaves.

I suspect the razor slides more, still depressing the skin and slicing beard, giving an equivalent shave.

Guessing...
