Merkur Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades (10ct)

Traditional DE blades, made in the EU, built to the same standard as the razors they were designed to complement. Stainless steel, platinum and PTFE coated for a smoother edge and more shaves before the pull sets in. Individually wrapped in paraffin paper for safe handling and a clean blade every time.

Ten blades per box. Compatible with all standard double edge safety razors. 

Who's It For

Anyone using a DE safety razor who wants a reliable everyday blade that pairs naturally with their Merkur razor. The Super Platinum sits in the moderate sharpness range - effective without being aggressive, and consistent across a wide range of skin types. A strong starting point for shavers new to DE blades who haven't yet found their preferred blade, and a dependable daily option for experienced wet shavers who want a known quantity. 

Key Benefits

• Stainless steel with platinum and PTFE coating - smoother glide and extended edge life compared to uncoated blades
• Moderate sharpness profile - effective for most beard types without being punishing on sensitive skin Individually wrapped in paraffin paper - hygienic, easy to handle safely, protects the edge until use
• Compatible with all standard double edge safety razors - not just
• Merkur 10 blades per box - roughly 40-70 shaves depending on beard density and technique
• Made in the EU

How To Use

• Load the blade into your DE safety razor per the razor's instructions - handle the blade by the short edges only, never the cutting edges
• Wet the face and apply shaving cream or lather
• Shave at roughly 30 degrees - let the razor's weight do the work, no pressing
• Rinse the blade after each pass - do not wipe, as wiping wears the edge faster than shaving does
• Replace when the first sign of tugging appears - typically every 4-7 shaves 

Why MASC Recommends This

Blades are personal - what works well on one face and one razor doesn't always translate. The Merkur Super Platinum is a sensible default: a well-made, consistently performing blade from the same Solingen tradition as the razors, at a price point that makes experimentation practical. For anyone starting out with DE shaving, beginning with the blade from the same manufacturer as the razor is a logical first move.
