The world’s most expensive shaving stick called iridium razor is $100,000. It has two blades made out of white sapphire grown at a former Soviet Union lab in Ukraine. They are just 80 atoms thick on their cutting edge – around 1/10,000th or 5,000 times thinner the width of a hair and far sharper than any of common blades on the market.

Researchers spent three years developing the Zafirro Iridium, which has a handle made of 99.9 per cent pure iridium – the most corrosion-resistant platinum metal, found only in meteorites. The sapphire blades will stay sharp for about a year and offer complimentary cleaning and
re-sharpening for an entire decade.

The blades are housed in a medical-grade stainless steel cartridge with the
cartridge is held in place by 16 neodymium magnets. Each will be engraved with a serial number and monogrammed to the individual client’s specifications.
