Which blade size is used for sensitive skin?

• A. #15
• B. #7
• C. #40
• D. #10

Answer: (D)

When skin is sensitive, you want a blade that doesn’t shave too closely, because a very close shave increases the risk of nicking and irritation. The blade that removes hair at about 2.5 millimeters provides a neat, even clip without pulling on the skin, giving protection and comfort for delicate skin. Blades that cut much closer can irritate or injure, while those that leave more length can still look tidy with proper technique. So the safer, more comfortable choice for sensitive skin is the longer-cut blade that yields around 2.5 mm of hair.
