Reddit reviews RazorPit Men's Razor Blade Sharpener, Black

So.. I'm not a female, but I do shave every day.

I used to swap out my Gillette-class Razor about once a month, when it's dull it'll scratch and pull significantly more than a brand new one; this is usually when people cut themselves.

However, I bought one of these a few months ago -- it sharpens razors by swiping the blades on the surface. I've gone from a razor every 1-1.5 months to "I haven't stopped using that 1.5 month old razor even 4 additional months later."

If you're concerned about switching them out, pick one up; mine has already paid for itself. However, it's probably a good idea to swap them out -- even if you can still shave with it -- for hygiene reasons.

It's a razor sharpner for disposable razors like a mach 3 or venus razor. Really useful to make your dollars strech. Razors are so expensive.

Like what Dajbman22 says, I use DSC as well, except what I also do is use a razor sharpener/cleaner so I can get more usage from each blade:

I use each blade for up to two weeks, but I don't shave every day.

Buy something like this, it's what I have. It's slower than a Gillette but it's way cheaper and the blades stays sharp longer. So instead of shaving with a dull expensive cartridge you can change your dirt cheap blade to a brand new one with little cost.

Get some blades and if you want you can get the shaving soap and brush and stuff. The important part is the razor and blades for it. You can use it with a shaving gel if you want. The blades are cheap and last awhile.

I believe you can also sharpen Gillette cartridges.

You can look up you tube tutorials on sharpening cartridges. I have never done it.

Recommend getting a RazorPit it's a silicone disposable razor cleaner/holder, it's a little bit bulky but through having one I've been able to use the same razor blade for 9 months and it's still fine to use. I've had no trouble taking disposable razors as carry on.

Do you think it would last longer if you sharpened it? If so these work well. I'm not sure why it says "Men's" razor blade sharpener, I'm like 93% sure blades don't have strong feelings about the gender of their end users.

What's more manly than razors and guns?

My technique probably sucks to be fair. I have tried.

I just prefer the simple method. It's more expensive, but it's faster and never caused me trouble before. I'm just not as into shaving as the people at wicked_edge. I can appreciate that some people love the razors and collect them, but it's just not for me. At least I tried. I'm planning to finish off the blades I have and then go back to the old method using multiblade cartridges.

In terms of saving money, I was thinking about giving this a go: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Razorpit-RP-O-B-Razor-Blade-Sharpener/dp/B004W2UMDW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1380740175&sr=8-11&keywords=razor

I have one of These. I can't remember the last time I bought a new set of blades.

Razorpit. Been using one myself for 4 years. Works great!
