There is residue on my new, unwrapped Feather FHS-10 razor blades – is this normal?Updated 2 years ago

Yes, it is normal. Many blade manufacturers, including Feather, commonly apply a tiny amount of adhesive to the dull area of blades when wrapping them to ensure that the blades don’t slide around while in transit (to protect the sharp edges). Please remember that these blades are extremely sharp and that any amount of friction would risk dulling the blade.

We find that this adhesive should not affect the way the blade loads into a OneBlade razor.

If you find that you’re having any issues with loading/removing blades, or you simply want to remove all of the adhesives prior to shaving, we recommend simply running the blades through hard running warm water. Please ensure to be extra careful when handling these blades as they are extremely sharp.
