Failure Threat Matrix[7,8,9,10]
| Failure Mode | Likelihood | Est. Onset | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thread Stripping | Low | Random | Tungsten bushing insert specifically designed to prevent this common aluminum razor failure. |
| Anodization Wear | Medium (over decades) | Random | Cosmetic issue only; does not affect function. Avoid abrasive cleaners. |
| Structural Denting | Low | Random | Do not drop on ceramic tile or concrete. Aluminum is softer than stainless steel. |
