I need someone to explain this to me in a scientific way I.e. what actually happens to a blade edge (SE/DE) to make it suddenly start digging into the skin as opposed to just floating over it?
I get to 2-4 uses of most blades (6if I’m lucky) and then they just seem to “die” i.e go from cutting perfect one day to still cutting hair, but cutting skin as well.
I had heard that the blade edge is so thin that small “chips” just break off which eventually causes some degree of uneven cut, so to speak. I know guys here have done some blade microscopy so is there any truth in this?
Also I find it strange that some edges deteriorate quickly- is this just the coating wearing off or does both the edge and coating wear off at the same rate?
Any ideas guys?
Thanks,
R
