There are companies selling ceramic kitchen knives.
Has anyone tried a ceramic razor blade? (I see there is a ceramic blade razor prototype floating around on the web.)
Amazingly, I did find a source for ceramic injector razor blades:
http://www.specialtyblades.com/materials/zirconia_ceramic.html
They claim blade life as high as 100x that of steel. But they are pricey in small lots -- $14 each in lots of 10. (How many "last forever" blades do you need? 10? 50?? 100? 1000?)
P.S. I personally feel safer with a not too sharp blade. These ceramic jobs are super sharp. (They don't give a sharpness rating if such a thing exists. )
P.P.S. These are not your ceramic coated blades.
