Is It Cold In Here?
Ready to take shaving to the next level? Then you need a cryogenically tempered razor blade. No, it's not the razor prefered by Ted Williams, but a process which hardens the metal for a longer lasting blade. Wikipedia Time!
Cryogenic hardening is a heat treatment in which the material is cooled to cryogenic temperatures, usually using liquid nitrogen. It can have a profound effect on the mechanical properties of certain steels, provided their composition and prior heat treatment are such that they retain some austenite at room temperature. It is designed to increase the amount of martensite in the steel's crystal structure, increasing its strength and hardness, sometimes at the cost of toughness.
You can't touch this. And where might you find a cryogenically tempered razor blade? RazorMax.
All of the razors we sell on our site are tempered -300° F to improve strength and durability. We only carry the highest quality blades to ensure maximum performance. Our blade distributor has been in the Cryo business since 1996 tempering everything from vehicle engines to drill bits and now has moved into the shaving industry.
