discussion 2<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAre Double Edge Safety Razors the Same as Reusable Razors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Reusable and safety razors often get used interchangeably on popular online forums. However, they are two different categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safety razors, as we covered in this guide, are often referred to as the old-school style razor that was introduced in the early 1900s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reusable razors, on the other hand, refer to a class of razors that are focused on reduced environmental impact often with metal bodies as opposed to plastic. Safety razors fall into this category as do other modern razor systems including those from OneBlade, Supply, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safety Razor Terminology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When learning about safety razors, some of the terms can be quite confusing. Therefore, we wanted to provide a dictionary of sorts that you can always refer back to when trying to gain a deeper level of understanding about this razor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blade Gap<\/strong>: The space between the mount and the razor blade. An increased gap makes for a more aggressive or closer shave.<\/p>\n\n\n\nComb<\/strong>: Comes in three main types: open, closed, and slant. <\/p>\n\n\n\nOpen Comb<\/strong>: Lacks a full safety bar. Instead, the comb is like a rake and allows for added blade exposure and increased aggressiveness to the shave. Works well for thick and dense hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClosed Comb<\/strong>: Full safety bar and the traditional feature. Keeps your skin pressed down uniformly as the razor cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSlant Blade<\/strong>: This is a closed comb that has been curved to cut at an angle rather than head-on. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTwo-Piece<\/strong>: A safety razor with a cap and a mount that is affixed to a handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThree-Piece<\/strong>: A safety razor that has a cap, mount, and handle as separate pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\nButterfly<\/strong>: A one-piece safety razor that has a split cap which can be opened by twisting the handle to swap out the blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdjustable<\/strong>: <\/strong>Available in select razors, it\u2019s a handle that turns to increase or decrease the blade gap. <\/p>\n\n\n\nKnurled<\/strong>: The distinct metal etching on the handle to increase grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStainless Steel<\/strong>: A rust-resistant iron alloy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChrome<\/strong>: Applied as a plating to cheaper safety razors to look nice. This metal is susceptible to cracking and chipping if dropped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is a double edge safety razor – The double edge safety razor features a handle, typically knurled, along with a head that has a protective safety bar that helps … <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":61739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1023],"tags":[998,1012],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3903"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3903"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3903\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66319,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3903\/revisions\/66319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.toolsofmen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
