"Rapier" - blades for shaving: description, photo

For a long time have passed those times when for shaving men used sharpened teeth of animals. Today, the attention of those who prefer to always look solid and presentable, on the shelves of stores a wide range of razors and blades from various manufacturers is presented. Great demand for the consumer uses the products of the Russian OJSC Mostochlegmash, the owner of the brand Rapier. Blades from this manufacturer are very popular among the male population of the CIS countries. Excellent quality and reasonable price are the characteristic features of these shaving products.

How are razors made Rapier

Blades produced by the manufacturer using a number of technological processes. For products use high-quality stainless steel, which at the beginning of the process is subjected to rolling. Then, the formed steel strip is placed in a special machine dividing the strip into separate blanks. They are heat treated to 1000 degrees Celsius. Heating lasts no more than half a minute. Hardening of products is carried out in cold water.

Fast freezing is an indispensable element in the technology of manufacturing shavers "Rapier". Blades undergo rapid cooling to a temperature of -50 degrees. Due to this, steel becomes harder. Then the blanks are placed in a special machine, which puts on their surface the name of the brand - "Rapier". The blades are then dried and ground. This stage of work is carried out in special machines that contain grinding modules. With their help, the blades acquire the desired sharpening. To achieve high hardness and wear resistance, the billets are subjected to a chromium plating procedure.

Judging by the positive feedback on the brand Rapier, the shaving rails slide easily enough over the skin. This is achieved by using a special anti-adhesive material, which is applied to the surface of the workpieces. Prevent the corrosive processes of the products was achieved with the help of a special organic oil, into which the already finished blades are dipped before they are packed. Each blade is stored in special "envelopes" of waxed paper.

How Blades Fill

Employees of JSC "Mostochlegmash" finished products are packed in bundles, and then in blocks. One block contains ten packs. In this form it is transported to wholesale buyers. On the shelves of retail stores, individual packs with razor products of the brand Rapier are presented to the attention of the consumer. Blades are contained in high-quality and beautiful packages.

What to look for when buying a block

With the popularity of the brand Rapier, the market is now filling the market with counterfeit products under this trademark. The countries in which such fakes are made are China and India. A lot of counterfeit comes to the market also from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. In order not to get a fake instead of quality products, it is necessary to pay attention to how the blocks with shaving products are decorated. Russian and English inscriptions "100 blades" should be present on them. In fakes they are also available. However, the original differs in that the inscription is written in a bold font.

What does the packaging look like

Packages of both real products and fakes are distinguished by the presence of a combination of black, white, blue-blue and red-crimson colors.

In this regard, counterfeit is difficult to distinguish from the original. Specialists recommend paying attention to how the inscription is made. On packages for real and fake products they are made in the same font. In both cases, the manufacturer and its address are indicated. But the font with which the letter "z" is executed on a false package somewhat differs it from writing other letters.

What should be the "envelope"

Each wrapper, made of waxed paper, contains one blade. In this way, many manufacturers pack their products. The production of the brand Rapier is not an exception. Blades (the photo is presented in the article) is placed in a special "envelope", in which a clear warning is given not to wipe the products. The writing language is Russian and English. The inscriptions on the envelopes containing fakes are distinguished by a clumsy typeface. You can also distinguish a fake by touch. For them, paraffined paper is used. Folded "envelope" does not cover the blade completely. As a result, such products do not have a point gluing.

What does the real blade look like?

To distinguish the original shaving product brand Rapier, you can by the following parameters:

• In the process of repeated flexion-extension, the present blade does not break. Fake can break after the first bend.
• The original has a white coating. Fakes, on the contrary, are much darker.
• The real blades from counterfeits are distinguished by a more clearly printed brand name of the manufacturer.
