MED PRIDE Sterile Disposable Surgical Scalpels 10 Pack, Individually Wrapped Protective Caps, Plastic Handles, for Dermaplaning Crafts (#10 Stainless-steel)

One of my cats had a staph infection, and I am well prepared to deal with these things, because I had been through it before with my child as well as myself when we got exposed to some bacteria in Florida years ago. I bought these scapels, alcohol, gloves, the works! Immediately, I noticed how well they were packaged, individually and they all had caps on them. The knife quality is far superior considering it is a disposable, and the bill quality is great. I would recommend cutting it out of the package instead of trying to remove it, because when I did the cap came off so these knife part was exposed. I probably did it wrong, I never follow directions lol. Having said that, it's got a grip that makes it very easy to hold and use with or without gloves, the blade was super thin and sharp so you don't have to press hard at all, mission accomplished. These are very easy to use, but I'd recommend getting some supervision if you have never worked with a scapel before. I actually had classes and surgical tech years ago so I know how to handle a scapel, but I was used to the weight of the industrial ones you see in hospitals. Having said that, these will do the trick. You get 10 of them in a pack, so it is a wonderful value. I think I paid more for the gloves than I did for these.

This really works. I was needing something to cut my calluses off and it worked beautifully. It is very sharp so you have to be very careful but it is great

Very sharp.

Works great. You can use for medical or veterinary you can also use for crafts like leather, wood and many more things as well. Will buy again, you can't go wrong with this item.

This is a box of #10 scalpels, the same blade doctors use during routine surgeries, so the blades are Super Sharp! But if you have a steady hand & know how to be careful, you can use it on your face without cutting yourself. Dermaplaning isn't merely shaving your face. The scalpel exfoliates your skin while also removing all the facial peach fuzz, which leaves you with supremely smooth & soft skin. The trick is to keep the blade at a 20-25 degree angle, which you'll easily get the hang of. (You can find YT videos on dermaplaning with a #10 blade that will show you the proper angle.) Be sure to thoroughly clean your face & neck beforehand (I use Dickinson's Witch Hazel on a cotton pad) & pat your skin completely dry. Wipe off the blade with cotton pad dampened with alcohol as you go. (The 1st time you dermaplane, you'll be shocked at the amount of debris that accumulates on the scalpel!) When you've finished, rinse your face & neck with cool water, leave your skin damp & apply your best moisturizer. I wait at least an hour after dermaplaning before applying make-up. And you will absolutely LOVE the way your make-up glides on easily, blends effortlessly & looks flawless all day after dermaplaning! Clean the scalpel with alcohol after each use & replace the protective cover. I dermaplane roughly once a week & use each blade 3 times before tossing it out. Do NOT try this if you have active acne/break-outs, bug bites or spots of irritated skin. Otherwise, I promise you, you will LOVE the results from at-home dermaplaning vs. paying $75-150 for the same service at a fancy skin care salon.
