The Science Behind Multi-Blade Razors: Why More Blades Mean a Better Shave

When cartridge razors first emerged, a single blade was the norm. Today, Mr. Stag offers razors with up to 7 blades — and there is solid science behind that number.

The Hysteresis Effect

Each blade in a multi-blade cartridge uses the "hysteresis effect": the first blade lifts the hair slightly above the skin surface, and each successive blade cuts it a fraction lower. The result is an incredibly close shave without the need for multiple passes that irritate skin.

Lubrication Strips Make the Difference

Mr. Stag cartridges are equipped with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E lubrication strips. These strips release moisturising agents ahead of the blades, reducing drag and protecting your skin from razor burn.

The Pivot Head Advantage

Every Mr. Stag razor features a pivoting head that follows the natural contours of your jaw, neck, and upper lip. This 360-degree flexibility ensures consistent blade-to-skin contact across uneven terrain, minimising nicks and missed spots.

Whether you choose the Beast 6, Titan7, or Alpha5, you are investing in engineering that puts your skin first.
