Razor Blade Edge Under Microscope at Victoria Sharpe blog

Razor Blade Edge Under Microscope. It is nearly flat, and reflecting light back to the microscope. Researchers used a powerful electron microscope to observe how the razor blades change after shaving. The first step was to examine disposable razor blades by scanning electron microscopy (sem). Instead of the razor slowly and evenly losing its sharp edge, they instead saw the formation of tiny cracks, then large chips of steel flaking off the edge of the blade. Here, you can see the light catching the leading edge of the blade. Quantified the blade wear rate. Unlike the wedge used to split wood or hold a door open, a razor (and its father, the knife) do their work at their tip—the edge. The edge is nice and straight and the striations at the top of the picture suggest that these blades are either mechanically ground.
