How many blades need a man to shave perfectly? It depends on many factors, such as hardness and consistency of the beard, the fragility of the skin and until you have time to shave. Gillette, however, the multinational hand winches, it is very clear: 6 blades is ideal to let the baby face and back.

Unveiled his theory with the well-known model Fusion with 5 blades on the front and one in the back, for shaping sideburns. Of course, the business of Gillette, but has invested millions of euros in R & D to get its merger with Procter & Gamble winning is not the razor itself but in parts, which are sold at a price of diamond by The edges of the blades are spent worrying indeed much one is of little beard.

It would appear that if the leaves were more resistant material other than stainless steel, would dawn in the pockets of consumers. For example, diamond. If diamonds are forever, a razor blade with diamond blade will last longer than conventional steel. Almost forever, as stated in the listing.

PSD Diamaze clipper, of the German Gesellschaft für Diamantprodukte (GFD) is German engineering and jewel-like shine to it, because it consists of a tungsten carbide blade coated with a layer of synthetic diamond. His sharp, only a few nanometers, allowing the blade to resist cutting up to 1,000 times longer than conventional steel blades, meaning that stays sharp for years, rather than the few weeks of regular razors.

GFD company, based in the German city of Ulm, is known for the manufacture of synthetic diamond coated blades, also high-precision medical scalpels, drill bits, needles probe ... That was before André Flöte, founder of DGA, had the brilliant idea of applying the invulnerability of the diamond to the men's razor.

To achieve a shave champion, GFD engineers use a system of "plasma sharpening" process involving dozens of sheets together vertically in a vacuum chamber and then bombard them with oxygen or chlorine gas to a state of excited plasma.

The resulting radius of curvature (edge of the blade, which is actually rounded at the microscopic level) can be as small as 3 nanometers, or only a few atoms wide. The process is similar to using sandpaper very fine grain. Extremely fine.

Of course, the leaves produced in this way would cost much more than conventional models sold by major brands. But floating insists that the money should pay off for its durability. Meanwhile, if you add up the cost of disposable razors for a year, the diamond blade could certainly be an alternative at a reasonable price.

How much? The final amount will only know when GFD is associated with a manufacturer of razors, as they do nothing but leaves. If all goes well, their diamond shavers can reach the market within two or three years.
