What material is the surface made of? Can you use a razor blade on the surface?

I love this light pad... however it's not a cutting surface material. I use another piece of glass on the top if I need to utilize it thatway. Plenty of light goes through. Hope this helps.

The inner blades are stainless steel or similar. The outer foils are probably aluminium. The instructions mention nothing about lubricating oil so I would not use any (not sure how oil would react with the rubber seals that protect the inner parts of the shaver from water).

The blade is made of plastic. It is an amazing tool for clearing snow. It is strong and sturdy and designed so that you do not hurt your back while using it. It is best for drier, fluffier snow.

Hi. It is very thin - about the thickness of a knife blade. I am not using it for its intended purpose though I imagine if you placed it on something sturdy like a cookie sheet it would work fine as a surface.

It's a thin plastic sheet. It could be cut by pretty much anything. I used an x-acto knife on mine.

I own this and use it everytime I shave. It's chrome or some sort of metal (stainless maybe?) Not plastic. Has a good weight to it.

Hello Michael. I believe the razor is chrome as it is very shiney. I don`t have the paper work that it came with so I can`t say with certainty but the razor is of very good quality and well made. The only thing is I wish it was a little more agressive. Hope this helps.

Yes, but you must use a self-healing cutting mat underneath to protect the cutting surface from the razor blade.

No. Though I can get a knife blade sharp enough to shave arm hair with this tool a straight razor is made of finer stuff. If your razor has been damaged or misused to the point where this tool might even be considered then it is too far gone.

Yeah, right, "stainless steel". Solid stainless steel would cost more, even brand-name razors are not usually stainless steel, unless very expensive. Typically it's chrome-plated brass, nowadays. Could be nickel-plated, but some people have allergies to nickel, so it's not common anymore. Never solid nickel or chrome, not for cheap :)

The blades are made of foam rubber and they don't hurt. I used mine for the first time over a very hot, humid weekend in September and it was GREAT!!! I love it!

Yes, to a razor fine edge. Use a quality knife steel like one from Chicago Cutlery, etc. A ceramic rad works too.

You can use any standard double edge blade but I'd advise against Feathers in general (unless you have lots of skill )and this razor especially because its so light

Yes, it's safe and hasn't scratched anything. We use them at my residential cleaning company because they're safe. However, my cleaners tell me they would prefer razor blades because they work better.

Really?? I mean the answer is so obvious. It sounds you might have been listening to these absurd, dumb commercials promoting these "single", archaic shaving technology razors/blades. Just simply put the razor with blade inside razor under running water. How hard is that?

I remove the head and wash it in the sink and let it dry. It's made with the same materials the "washable" shavers are made of. DO NOT wash the body of the razor. It is not sealed. Use the brush. I have done this many times with no problems.

A used blade is best and who knows how exactly it works. It seems to sharpen the blade by removing layers of shaving cream and hair that has stayed on the blade after use.
