Default Why do razor blades get dull so fast?

If you use those shaving creams/foams/gels, they also help to erode the blade edge. It is very advantageous for the manufacturer
of the blades to have a short life. Try using normal bar soap. It lubricates much better and will double blade life.

Ivory bar soap applied with a badger brush. Hose out the razor with
the WaterPic afterwards.
