What is required for a properly tempered razor?

  1. Sharpness

  2. Flexibility

  3. Hardness

  4. Smoothness

The correct answer is: Hardness

A properly tempered razor requires hardness in order to maintain its sharpness and flexibility. If a razor is not properly tempered, it may become too brittle or too soft, making it difficult to maintain a sharp edge and causing it to lose its flexibility. While sharpness is important for a razor, it cannot be maintained without the proper level of hardness. Flexibility and smoothness, while desirable qualities in a razor, are not the main requirements for a properly tempered razor.
