Hair is pretty tough, just see how easily it dulls steel blades
This genuinely just improved my outlook on buying new blades
I think micro-rusting does the damage here. I oiled a cheap disposable-head razor after every use and the blades were still sharp enough over a year later when the rubber/silicone flex point (hinge?) fell apart.
Sneaky bastards had to specifically add in that part that was vulnerable to oil.
I use the classic double edge blades, dirt cheap and rinsing them with hot water is enough to make mine last for quite a while.
I’ve heard some ppl submerge their razors in Isopropanol to combat rust and soap buildup… Haven’t tried that yet.
