What are “DenseMax” blades?
DenseMax blades are made from 420 stainless steel that has undergone our proprietary post grind thermal treatment process. All razor blade companies heat treat their products in order to harden them; this process takes a few hours. Our DenseMax process, however, is a five day thermal treatment in which we repetitively cycle the temperature variations at controlled time/temperature increments. This causes the electrons in the steel to bind tighter together a the atomic level while completely stress relieving the metal. Thus the density of the steel is increased without affecting weight or brittleness. Our DenseMax process is a “trick” that we learned last year from our friends at Lockheed/Martin when we fabricated military components for them. We would like to tell you more, but as this process is not patentable, we need to keep any further technical explanations to ourselves.
