Plastic rezer blades

Anybody ever try them ? Seems like plastic couldn't be too sharp or hold an edge.

I can't believe I misspelled razor blade...oh well

And here I thought there was something new on the market?!

I've used these (spelled both ways) but they're not really intended to cut or act as the metal versions. There are some operations like automotive window tinting where their shape and size are just perfect.

Think of them more as tooling for adhesives, sealants etc or smoothing something into place rather than a blade.

They've been around for at least 20 years, ever since I first entered the auto glass biz.

Useful for removing decals or adhesive materials from painted surfaces. They fit into the tools that use metal blades. Not too good for shaving with though...
