Straight Razor
1. Item Type
The blades are first classified by type of item. There are three main points:
Square Spike or sharp point, so named because the profile is wrong and ends in a strongly perpendicular to the cutting edge of razor blade. This Ofblade type is used for a shave in areas small, but at the risk of pinching the skin, it requires some experience in management.
French (or oblique) point. His profile is similar to a quadrant point, but with a more acute angle curve, and as ends in a point of sharp awl Similarly it lacks the sharp profile of the rule. The difference between these two is mainly aesthetic.
Rotunda. As the name indicates the point of semicircular profile and therefore has no end points of advantage. As such, one more than forgivingblade other two types and, though lacking the precision of the other two, is recommended for relatively new. There are also types of side edges which result from a combination of these elements such that half of the roundabout incorporating rounded corners, connected by a line segment.
2. Grinding method
The second category refers to the type of grinding method used and, as it affects the curvature of the blade includes two main types of leaf routines:
Flat or straight milling, indicating that the sides of the blade cross section is linear. This section looks more like a corner and therefore this sheet sometimes called the corner.
Hollow grinding, indicating that the parties cross-section blade is concave. The combination of the types found in these two classification categories can, in theory, lead to a variety of types of blades and hollow tip rounds, squares, etc. flat ground point, but in practice, some points are combined with a specific routine. For example, a French pointblade is generally flat.
For a worksheet to be the most effective cutting should be as thin as possible. Therefore, the preferred method of grinding which removes most of the material theblade without compromising the integrity of the sheet.
Grind a product of tooth hollow thin, flat, since it eliminates most of the sheet material (hollow thin sheet or more) and is generally considered more effective (and expensive) method. In fact, some razor manufacturers high-end limit its production exclusively groundrazors hole.
3. Blade width
The third and last category refers to the width of the blade. The width of the blade is defined as the distance between the back of the blade and the cutting edge. It is expressed in units sixteen inches. Sizes range from 3 / 8 "to 7 / 8", rarely 8 / 8. A large sheet of foam may take longer, as a first, for several successive movements of shaving and allowing the user more time and minimizes cycles rinse the razor blade.
The downside of the whole leaf is not as tight as a sheet on hand. A narrow blade can shave the face in narrow areas like the nose, but it must be flushed more often. The width of size popular of the leaf is 5 / 8 ".
