Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004030875A1] Stabilized or partially stabilized zirconia paste may be screen printed onto hydrophilic film in the form of a mesh. On firing, this becomes a very sharp foil (10, 110, 210, 310) for electric razors with excellent wear characteristics. Stabilized or partially stabilized zirconia may also be screen printed onto a wettable plastic film then fired to produce low cost razor blades with an excellent edge. A curved razor blade (310) incorporating an array of holes (312), each of which has a knife edge periphery (324), offers greater cutting power and control of the skin surface than a single or double edge.
