2mm vs 0.5mm Straight Razor Blades: Which Gravity Razor is Right for You?

1 ago 2025

When it comes to shaving, precision matters. That’s why Gravity Razors offers options designed for your unique grooming needs—most notably, our 2mm and 0.5mm straight razors. Both are crafted for balance, control, and that gravity-defying feel, but they deliver different experiences depending on your shave goals.

So, what’s the real difference between the two—and which one should you choose?

🔪 Blade Thickness: What It Means

  • 2mm Razor: Thicker, sturdier, and designed for barbers or users who want a more weighted feel. It’s great for thicker hair, longer stubble, or more aggressive passes.

  • 0.5mm Razor: Slimmer, lighter, and ideal for those seeking a super close shave, detailed edge work, or a more delicate touch.

🪒 Why Choose the 2mm?

  • Feels like a pro tool in your hand—heavy enough for control, light enough for fluidity.

  • Better for coarse hair, multiple-day beards, or shaping fuller facial hair.

  • Great for straight razor traditionalists who want that old-school feel with modern balance.

  • Ideal for body grooming and barbershop-style fades.

If you like the weight and stability of a traditional blade, the 2mm is your go-to.

✂️ Why Choose the 0.5mm?

  • Ultra-thin, ultra-precise—engineered for tight corners, clean edges, and minimal skin drag.

  • Perfect for daily shavers, beginners, or anyone with sensitive skin.

  • Ideal for cheek lines, neckline detail, and eyebrow or beard shaping.

If you're after control, sharp angles, and close detail work, the 0.5mm is your match.

The Gravity Razor Standard

Whether you go 2mm or 0.5mm, you’re getting:

✅ A perfectly weighted handle
✅ Surgical steel quality
✅ Ergonomic design that feels right in your hand
✅ A blade holder that actually holds—no slips, no gimmicks
✅ A brand built by barbers, for barbers (and grooming fanatics)

Final Verdict

  • Choose 2mm if you want bold, heavy-duty shaving with more force behind each stroke.

  • Choose 0.5mm if you're all about finesse, edge work, and a clean, close finish.

Better yet—why not both? Our razors are designed to be interchangeable, so you can match your blade to your mood, your look, or your client's needs.
