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

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

    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?

    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.
