Merkur Super Platinum Blades fit all Merkur Double Edge Safety Razors. Made from platinum stainless steel in Solingen, Germany. Do not wipe blade; simply rinse and shake dry.

Double edge safety razors are one-blade systems that glide micrometers from the skin. The shaving experience is much superior to multi-blade razors as the multi-blade system creates stubble and causes irritation. The multi-blade systems in fact cause the problems they claim to resolve. More blades cause more drag, tugging at each hair and ultimately creating stubble. Also, the first blade scrapes away the lubricating shaving cream, and renders the skin susceptible to razor burns and bumps from the following blades. On the other hand, a double edge safety razor removes the hair in its entirety with just one stroke.
