Derby Extra is often the first blade recommended to anyone new to safety razor shaving. The multi-layer coating — chromium, ceramic, platinum, tungsten and polymer — prioritises comfort and longevity over aggression, producing a forgiving blade that's easy to control and kind on sensitive skin. Each blade is perforated, hardened and ground using advanced manufacturing equipment, and holds its edge well across multiple shaves. The lower sharpness rating makes it more predictable for beginners developing their technique, and many experienced shavers keep coming back to it for everyday use when they want a relaxed, comfortable shave.

How to Use: Load into your safety razor and shave with light, consistent pressure. Rinse thoroughly after each use — never wipe the blade, as this causes premature dulling.
