Razor blade sharpener..

[ummmm]

Has anyone tried one of these? With the cost of blades nowadays it could be well worth it..

That's a good idea Ummm. Thanks. I'll show it to Mr Alba and see what he thinks.

Doesn't look like it's a sharpener as such, more like a kitchen steel, so it would hone a existing edge rather than put a new edge on the blades.

[ummmm]

Worth it for £10 considering that's about the cost of 1 packet of decent blades.

....or you could just do this......



Works a dream apparently!

I bulk buy blades off ebay for a lot less than retail.

Why not just build a Karel Drbal Pyramid and put the blades in there?

Just a few bits of card and some sticky tape and away you go.

[ummmm]

Bloody brilliant idea, Graham :-)

Snags....I don't buy razor blades, I steal his, and he's not that organised...

[albaqwerty]

I got caught once, I bought as bundle of pink ones to avoid another nagging.

[ummmm]

I don't actually use his current blade. Just one from his pack....

I was thinking of getting one of these for a little while now from here

But never got around to it and at the moment use a bath sponge squirted with a little shaving get to rub and clean my razor on.

If you do get it could you tell us what your review of it is please and i'll do the same if i get one.

[ummmm]

Of course. I'm going to order one today...

[mccfluff]

might get that!

[ummmm]

I've ordered one...I will let you know :-)

[tinkerbell23]

Have these been advertised somewhere recently ..i think they have! Wonder if theyll be good xx

[tonyav]

Let us know how you get on with it ummmm, I would be very interested if it's any good or not.

Good gracious, I thought everyone used electric razors, or am I missing something here and this is blades for electric razors. Sorry, I don't have to use one myself (lucky me) so I don't know much about them.

[ummmm]

Will do....if it works it's £10 well spent and I know what everyone is getting for xmas presents :-)

[tonyav]

Star, wet shave or dry shave, all depends on if I'm on a promise or not !

[ummmm]

Ha ha...dry shave then, Tony!! :-)

To be honest I cant see them having much effect, to sharpen a blade correctly it will need to be sharpened from both sides to remove the burs, it may extend the live by an extra shave but I doubt it will do much more.
