This thesis explores potential causes for reduced razer blade use time, as this increases e-waste while reducing’ profit. Influenced by the upcoming energy label, impact resistance of the shaving head is deemed to negatively affect use time and strategic position. Through researching breaking behavior of the head several strategies for achieving full impact resistance are proposed, with the direction of detaching the interface legs being further explored. In the end this direction is found to not be feasible and not recommended to be researched further. However other strategies are proposed that potentially offer the razer blade an increase in impact resistance or use-time.
