Abstract: To reduce the frictional resistance of a wet razor head, especially a razor blade unit thereof, as well as to provide a sharper blade without the risk of injury, there is provided a combination of a protective wire that covers a blade made of a steel strip having a width of less than 5 mm, a thickness between 0.05 and 0.25 mm, and a chromium/molybdenum steel composition having a hardness of greater than 620 HV and a retained austenite content of less than 32%, with the blade being a single piece that has no perforations or holes and that is mounted in a vibration-free manner in a plastic body. The protective wire comprises loops that are spaced greater than 2 mm but less than 5 mm apart and that have a minimum thickness of greater than 0.1 mm to form a protective guard over the razor blade with the effect of a protective foil.

Abstract: Steel which is particularly useful for making a razor blade of high corrosion resistance contains more than 0.45%, but less than 0.55%, of carbon, 0.4 to 1.0% of silicon, 0.5 to 1.0% of manganese, 12 to 14% of chromium and 1.0 to 1.6% of molybdenum all by weight, in addition to iron and inevitable impurities, and has a carbide density of 100 to 150 particles per 100 square microns as annealed. The razor blade has a Vickers hardness of at least 620 and a carbide density of 10 to 45 particles per 100 square microns, and preferably has a specific distribution of residual austenite content. The improved properties of the razor blade are achieved by an improved process of heat treatment which includes austenitizing the steel at a temperature of 1075.degree. C. to 1120.degree. C., cooling it to a temperature between -60.degree. C. and -80.degree. C. for hardening it, and tempering it at a temperature of 250.degree. C. to 400.degree. C.
