How to just sharpen any razor

December 3, 2018 Useful and interesting / Useful Tips 821 784 68

This is a very good way to save your money. Every person who shaves with a razor with interchangeable blades, such as a Gillette, knows very well how much one interchangeable cartridge costs. The price is truly cosmic, although the use is reusable, but in my opinion it is not worth it.
I will show an incredibly simple and at the same time super effective way to sharpen any razor or machine as easily as possible. Be it even one-time.
After such a simple sharpening, the blades will cut off the hairs just like the new cassette. Do not believe? I recommend checking it yourself.

Will need

Denim - the old jeans are the most.
Cardboard sleeve, any suitable: even from foil, even from toilet paper, even from cling film.

That's all.

Idle razor sharpening

The cardboard sleeve must be crushed a little and give it an oval shape.

This must be done so that the side stops do not interfere with the processing - sharpening of the blades.

Next, cover the sleeve with denim and align with your fingers.

And then everything is simple. For perfect sharpening, you need to walk along this tubercle with a razor 100-150 times.
The direction of movement of the machine is the opposite of movement when shaving, that is, the machine is moving forward.

We do it more than 50 times, then we change the direction of movement by 180 degrees so that the hairs on the jeans turn over and there is no “getting used to” the fabric. And we make another 50 movements in the opposite direction.

Pressing strongly should not be, if only a little bit. As a result, even visually the blades sparkled.

When using, the sharpened razor cannot be distinguished from just purchased. Here is such an incredibly simple tip that will save you a significant amount of your budget.
Naturally, you will not grind the same machine all your life, but I think that it will not be any problem to extend its service two, three or four times.
Make 100-150 movements on the jeans, believe me, the hand will not fall off - it’s business for 2-3 minutes and as a result you won’t have to throw money away.

Nonsense .. Definitely ...! All cutting edge technologies on stainless steel plates of modern razor blades are “sharpened" according to a single nano-technology - applying a special platinum nano-layer exactly one molecule thick on the cutting edge ... And that's it ...! unfortunately or fortunately ..!

When the molecular layer crashes during operation, in this case the razor shaves worse, but it scratches better ...?

Stop lying, firstly the surface should be flat and not round, and secondly the blade needs to be adjusted on both sides, once it was in the newspaper to sharpen the scissors you need to cut sandpaper and that’s rubbish here.

If you use, instead of the foam imposed by advertising, any nourishing cream, then the vest lasts much longer than -2 years. Checked. If only it was washed off with a razor normally

  I read a lot of comments, yours, the best in my opinion. I myself use vests, and I really noticed that foams, gels and THEIR products are a banal pumping of money out of my pocket. The most effective way is a mid-range shaving brush and cream, such as ARCO. If I bought myself a more expensive one, I did not determine much difference, with the exception of perfume and a fashionable box))
  And I just wash the razor well after shaving and brush off small droplets - the result = I use one cartridge for half a year. I shave every day practically and the stubble is hard, dark with gray hair.

My father always shaved with a trophy razor brought from Germany. Before shaving, he always ruled it on a leather belt with a grated paste similar to GOI and the razor shaved like new. When it is very dull, it is correct for a marble bar

I tried to sharpen the cassette on the jeans - as shown here. Nonsense! Shaves no better than just a worn out cassette. One summer I read an advertisement on the internet for the sale of cassettes Gillette-Fjn. A block of 5 cassettes for only 150 rubles. Ordered somewhere in a month came. Unpacked - a great block with 5 great looking cassettes! The appearance is impeccable! Escape to experience. Once shaved - like nothing.The second time (after a couple of days) is the feeling that I am shaving with an old worn cartridge. So, I shaved these Chinese fakes 3..4 times and - the garbage bin happily accepted these trinkets .... So, again I had to spend money on branded cartridges - but a block of 4 cartridges was enough for me for six months, or even more !
