A razor blade is a small, thin, and exceptionally sharp piece of stainless steel or high-carbon steel, designed for cutting hair at skin level. Typically rectangular or specialized for disposable cartridges, these blades feature one or two honed edges. They are used in manual shavers, shavettes, or safety razors to provide a close shave.

Key Characteristics:
- Material: Usually martensitic stainless steel (12-14.5% chromium) for corrosion resistance, or high-carbon steel for superior edge retention.
- Design: Extremely thin and sharpened to a microscopic edge, often protected in a cartridge or holder.
- Types: Single-edge or double-edge (DE) blades, often featuring a center cutout for traditional razors.
- Function: Used by scraping across the skin to cut hair, often involving a specific "blade gap" (distance from safety bar) to determine closeness.
