Razor blade

A razor blade comprising:

• a substrate comprising:
• a first portion comprising first and second parallel outer surfaces;
• and
• a second portion comprising asymmetric first and second sections separated by a split line, wherein the first section comprises first and third facets and the second section comprises a second facet, the first facet extends inwardly from the first parallel outer surface toward the third facet and in the direction of the second outer surface, the second facet extends inwardly from the second parallel outer surface toward the first outer surface, the second and third facets converge at a tip to define a cutting edge, the split line passes through the tip and is parallel with the first and second outer surfaces of the first portion, the second facet has a length greater than the length of the third facet and the first facet extends directly from the first outer surface of the first portion and the third facet extends directly from the first facet, wherein a plane extending through a center of the first portion parallel to the first and second parallel outer surfaces extends through the third facet.
