Save A Blade - Save A Blade Razor Blade Sharpener

Says it "sharpens ALL razors!".

Not my Livi it doesn't.

i thought it's a stropper

"Get up to 200 shaves from a single blade"

Gee whiz! 200 shaves from a single blade?! Sign me up.

:gaah:

Well, it probably can't make a shave with the mock3 any worse.... :ziplip:

So it appears... an abrasive sharpening strapper. I'm surprised the US government is allowing the inventor to equate strapping with sharpening :hmmm:

Sure, but it only strops one side and the 'wrong' side at that. Also, what's to stop a burr from happening from easily over stropping one side of a blade?

Maybe the damage it causes the blade stops a burr from forming?

You could always try the Razor Mate.

I think it works, to a certain point.

A friend of mine does something similar with his electric razor blades and some really soft sandpaper (but he has a very soft beard).

Also, would you really be surprised if the dull cartridges can be salvaged and Gillette/Schick just did not care telling us so we keep buying more?

That being said... 200 shaves? Sounds like a little exagerated.
