American Razor single edge blades are a barber's consumable, and this collection is honest about its size: one product, a professional box of 100 single edge blades. There is no safety-razor line and no second pack size to weigh up. What follows is what the blade is, what it is for, and how to get the most out of the box.
American Razor single edge blades, box of 100
Each blade is made from high-quality stainless steel and ground to an ultra-sharp single edge that glides rather than pulls. It cuts cleanly through thick, coarse hair as readily as it handles fine stubble, which is why it suits every skin type rather than only the tough ones.
Every blade is individually wrapped in protective paraffin paper. That wrapping is not packaging theatre: it keeps the edge dry and untouched until the moment it goes into the holder, so blade number ninety-nine performs like blade number one.
Single edge: a shavette blade
These are single edge blades, so they belong in a shavette or a single edge barber razor, never in a double edge safety razor. They arrive factory-cut to size, which means no snapping blades in half at the station, no uneven halves and no cut fingers.
The result is a detailing tool. Sharp beard lines, clean neck shaves, precise contour work along the jaw and around the ear: the exposed edge, locked rigid in the holder, shows you exactly where the cut is landing and lets you commit to the stroke.
Fresh blade, every client
The hygiene rule in a barbershop is simple and absolute: a new blade for every client, then straight into the sharps container. A used blade is a used blade, whatever it looks like, and no shave is worth reusing one.
The 100-count box is what makes that rule easy to live with. Spread across a hundred shaves, the blade is one of the smallest costs in the whole service and one of the few your client feels on their skin from the first stroke to the last.
Technique and care
Load the blade with the holder open and your fingers clear of the edge. Soften the beard with warm water and a proper lather, then shave with light, controlled strokes at a shallow angle. Almost every nick comes from pressure, not from sharpness, so let the steel do the work. Rinse the blade clear between passes, dispose of it safely afterwards, and keep the unopened box somewhere dry.
