Did you know that there are only 4 countries in the world that can make high-quality razor blades?? One of them is our country Human facial hair is stronger than you think, so if the razor blade is not sharp, the beard will break instead of being cut. But if you make the razor blade sharp, the blade will become dull easily, which is a dilemma. That’s why coating technology is needed to increase strength and protect the skin.
This small razor blade is said to be a measure of the country’s fine metalworking technology. The world’s strongest razor is Gillette, with 120 years of history. Gillette has monopolized the market by controlling offline distribution channels. However, as the online market grew in the 2010s, companies that challenged Gillette’s stronghold emerged, the most representative of which is Dollar Shave Club. Many companies use Korean razor blades, and in 2016, a whopping 57.2% of razor blades distributed in the U.S. online market were domestically produced.
But many people in Korea know this company, Dorco, as a Japanese company. It is a Korean company that started in 1955 as Dongyang Light Metal. It still invests 15% of its annual sales in research and development, and currently exports to over 130 countries, trimming all kinds of beards. ㅎㅎㅎ
