The present disclosure provides an improvement to razor blade coating by a physical vapor deposition method, by forming a hard coating layer as a thin coating layer in which chromium boride, which is a nanocrystalline structure having high hardness, is dispersed in an amorphous mixture of chromium and boron, thereby improving the strength and hardness of the thin coating layer and securing the bonding force by chromium in the amorphous mixture between the hard coating layer and a blade substrate on which an edge of the razor blade is formed.

Razor blade and manufacturing method thereof

The present disclosure provides a razor blade coating by a physical vapor deposition method through performing a deposition with a single composite target composed of dissimilar materials with their area ratio defined to be varied in the single composite target in the direction of transferring the razor blade subject to the deposition, thereby forming a single layer in which the composition ratio of the dissimilar materials gradually changes in the thickness direction of the coating layer to improve the durability of the razor blade coating layer.

A shaving blade is proposed. The shaving blade includes a substrate having a cutting edge, a substrate tip, and a plurality of coating layers laminated on the substrate. A first thickness of the substrate is defined as a thickness measured at a first distance that is 8 micrometers from the substrate tip along a central axis. A second thickness of the substrate is defined as a thickness measured at a second distance that is 16 micrometers from the substrate tip along the central axis. A third thickness of the substrate is defined as a thickness measured at a third distance that is 32 micrometers from the substrate tip along the central axis. The plurality of coating layers include a first coating layer, a second coating layer, and a third coating layer, and contain one or more of chromium boride (CrB), chromium carbide (CrC), or Diamondlike carbon (DLC).

Shaving blade

According to one embodiment, a shaving blade includes a substrate having a cutting edge provided with a sharp substrate tip, wherein a thickness T16 of the substrate measured at a distance D16, which is 16 micrometers from the substrate tip, is in a range from 2.41 micrometers to 3.76 micrometers.
