Men's Razor Blade Sharpener, Black

Wow, this thing really works, improbable as it may seem. This is no snake-oil product! I get many more high-quality shaves out of my four-blade refills. Many of us try to stretch the useful life of our refills because they have become so ridiculously expensive. Remember when Gillette used to give you the razor free?; they could afford to because the real profit was in the endless, repeat sale of the blades. Now, baby, we get nothing for free and the razor companies make profits that are killing us. And, because the blades are so expensive, sometimes we use them when they are past retirement age just to save a few bucks. This black rubbery thing is a convenient, easy to use piece of plastic/rubber/miracle material (who knows what?) that is as low-tech as you can get. You basically just run your razor over it a few times and BANG! your blade is restored to almost new sharpness and comfort. I'm sure I've at least doubled the life of my blades since using this gadget. I keep it in my shower and sharpen my razor right before I shave -- piece of cake. This is an excellent investment in blade life -- and COMFORT! You won't be sorry you bought one, believe me! As far as those old-fashioned razors they advertise on TV now, and one I bought through Duluth, they can't compare with the improved comfort of the multi-blade razors, in my opinion. And, if you wanted to, you could sharpen those double-edge blades on the RazorPit, too. But with this gadget, you'll save money on your multi-blade refills so that you won't have to resort to a less comfortable shave just to save money. I also now use the Shave Secret Oil, which is better than any of the Edge-type shaving products I've tried; better shave, fewer nicks.

i bought this thinking it probably would not really work well. WRONG. It does work. Works very well. SO, to prove it, I set up a semi scientific test. I use the Gillette Sensor 3 blade razors. I have been using these since they hit the market. maybe 15 years or so. And always about 10-12 day lifespan. I shave almost every day. Skipping a day here and there on weekends or even a midweek day if I can get away with it. After that they get a bit dull and start to pull and drag a bit. So, I made a note of the day I changed blades. And after every shave, and before every shave, I would give the razor 5-10 strokes on the RazorPit. I did this religiously. at 12 days in the shave was really no different from day 1. Day 16, 18, 20 still very very good shave. No dragging or pulling noticed. After about 22 or 24 days of use i think i started to notice a bit of dulling. But still a pretty good shave. On Day 28 I decided to change blades and compare to the priors days shave. And the difference was noticeable but not a night and day difference. So, it was time to change. But, I had gotten 26 days out of the blade and the shave quality was good throughout. Since this experiment, I have been less meticulous about using the razorpit before and after every shave. Nowadays, I will give my razor a few licks every other time. Or maybe every third shave, and am still getting a great extension in useful razor lifespan. In summation, this is a very useful product. It does exactly what it say it will do. So, if you want to stretch your shaving dollar, then an investment in this item will let you do just that!

Like almost everyone else, I was skeptical when I bought this product. Could it really prolong the life of my blades while giving me the quality of a new blade? After 2 months of use, I can sum it up in one word - YES! In short, if you shave at least 2-3 times per week, it is worth buying the RazorPit. Obviously if you shave more, its even better. First question you might have is how does it work? After every shave, you place a small amount of shaving cream on the silicone pad and slide your razor blade upward (opposite the direction of shaving) 4 times. Wash your blade and the RazorPit and you're done. I assume it works by keeping your blade clean on the microscopic level, therefore keeping your blades sharper. (I think the official website says as much). Prior to the RazorPit, I got about 5-6 weeks out of my fusion blades (shaving about 2-3 times per week). I could usually tell that by week 4, my shave was getting a bit sub par. Using the same shaving frequency, I am now on week 9 of my current blade and my shave is as good as day 1. I plan to replace after 10-12 weeks even if the blade is going strong just because I want to compare to a fresh blade again. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because of price and because I have to use this every time after I shave. It does everything it claims and I would still recommend this as a buy!

Okay I didn't think this would work as well as it did. Even though the idea of 'stropping' is sound you're only doing one side of the blade right? Well, it works better than expected. I am Asian and admittedly don't have a lot of facial hair, but I use to feel lucky if my blade lasted 21 days. This blade has lasted 21 weeks using the RazorPit. Well worth it. At this point I'm wondering when to start a new blade! Now, this blade after 21 weeks of daily shaving is clearly not as sharp as a new blade, but it feels as smooth as day 1. It is comfortable and still is working. Great product, I've since bought 3 more as gifts and highly recommend this. It's not magic, it doesn't sharpen the blade, but will extend the use. Works as advertised.

J'étais sceptique au début. Mais j'en avais tellement marre d'avoir à changer de lames au bout de quelques rasages, à presque 5€ l'unité. Alors j'ai voulu tester ce "machin" malgré son prix non négligeable non plus. Et ça marche plutôt pas mal et j'arrive à faire durer mes lames bien 2x plus longtemps. Et là l'achat est vite amorti. Après un passage sur l'appareil on voit bien que les lames brillent et on sent qu'elles coupent bien mieux. Bonne invention qui reprend le principe de la lanière de cuir du barbier. (attention : ne fonctionne pas avec les lames à grille : W.Quattro)

Tolles Teil. Funktioniert tatsächlich. Ich habe testweise eine recht stumpfe Klinge (Mach3) wieder brauchbar scharf bekommen.

Lo compre con cierto escepticismo por alguna reseña negativa que leí, pero después de utilizar el producto, no me parecen justas. Llevo 6 meses usando la misma cuchilla y acabo de regalarle uno a mi pareja. No se que esperaba la gente que dice que no le funciona.. a lo mejor no saben usarlo o tienen la barba durísima. A mi me ha funcionado perfecto.

About eight years ago, I gave up on Gillette razors. Expensive and didn't last more than three or four shaves. However for Christmas I was bought some shaving goodies including a Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor Olympic Gold Edition something which I had poured scorn over when it came out. "5 blades? Who needs 5 blades!" However I gave the razor ago and was genuinely impressed at how easy it was to get a very close comfortable shave with. However after a few shaves the blades were dull and I baulked at the cost of new blades. Browsing at Amazon looking at the blades I came across this little wonder. I lump of rubber that claimed with the help of some excess shaving soap to reinvigorate your razor blade and make them last longer. I had to give it a go. For the cost of less than a packet of replacement blades I had nothing to lose. The Razorpit turned up promptly and I gave it a go. A little excess soap on the base and then four stokes of the razor in the opposite direction to that used when shaving. Looking at the blades it was impossible to the tell with the naked eye as to whether anything had changed, whether or not the blades had be cleaned and therefore were going to be any sharper. However as soon as I shaved, it was like shaving with a brand new razor. No tug and pull and a very clean shave indeed. I have now been using the same blade for three weeks (nowhere near as long as Razorpit suggest is possible) but it is still like shaving with a new blade every day. To think that before I bought this I was going to through away the blade that I am still using. Not only does the Razorpit save you money, but it also is more environmentally friendly. A great product.
