Razor blade

A razor blade comprising a substrate including a cutting edge having a symmetrical tapering geometry with two substrate sides and a planar portion ending in a sharpened tip, the tapering geometry having a thickness of between 1.55 and 1.97 micrometers measured at a distance of five micrometers from the tip, to a thickness of between 4.60 and 6.34 micrometers measured at a distance of twenty micrometers from the tip, to a thickness of between 19.8 and 27.12 micrometers measured at a distance of hundred micrometers from the tip, wherein the thickness of the substrate further includes a thickness of between 57.80 and 69.00 micrometers measured at a distance of three hundred micrometers from the tip,

• wherein a blade thickness increase rate is defined by a slope from the sharpened tip to a transition point between the two substrate sides and the planar portion of the substrate, wherein the blade thickness increase rate in a region between a distance from 40 micrometers to 300 micrometers from the tip is less than the blade thickness increase rate from the tip of the blade to a distance of 40 micrometers from the tip.
