The Razor With the Sharpest Blade on the Planet

Born out of the Bright Light Ventures innovation incubator, Zafirro has spent more than four years trying to make the sharpest razor blade on the planet. Zafirro uses a sapphire blade that is about 80 atoms at the tip. For reference, that’s more than ten times sharper than a surgeon’s scalpel and 5,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. It’s safe to say that you’re going to get a closer shave with this two blade design than you will any of the 5+ blade designs on the market today. Each blade lasts from six to twelve months, so you’ll also be contributing to the reduction of the 2billion+ razor blades that the EPA says go into landfills each year. The handle has a sleek, timeless design, and it will likely be made of surgical stainless, titanium or tungsten.
