Many of us still prefer these safety razors to the double/triple/quadruple blade razors which are sold today.

Brass is a suitable metal for safety razors for the following reasons:

• Brass is resistent to tarnish.
• The copper content of brass has the beneficial effect of restricting the growth of microorganisms which makes it very hygienic.
• Brass has low friction properties, which makes it suitable for safety razors or any application where metal works against metal.
• Brass also has good impact resistance, which lessens the chance of the metal to crack or split.
