How to easily sharpen any razor

This is a very good way to save your money. Every person who shaves with a razor with replaceable blades, such as Gillette, knows perfectly well how much one replaceable cartridge costs. The price is truly astronomical, although it is reusable, but in my opinion it’s not worth it.
I will show you an incredibly simple and at the same time super effective way to easily sharpen any razor or machine. Even if it was disposable.
After such simple sharpening, the blades will cut hairs in exactly the same way as with a new cassette. Don't believe me? I recommend checking it yourself.

Will need


  • Denim - old jeans are just the thing.
  • A cardboard sleeve, any kind will do: even foil, toilet paper, or cling film.

That's all.

Simple sharpening of the razor


The cardboard sleeve needs to be crushed a little and given an oval shape.

This must be done so that the side stops do not interfere with the processing - sharpening of the blades.

Next, cover the sleeve with denim and align it with your fingers.

And then everything is simple. For perfect sharpening, you need to go over this tubercle with a razor 100-150 times.
The direction of movement of the machine is opposite to the movement when shaving, that is, we move the machine forward.

We do it more than 50 times, then change the direction of movement by 180 degrees so that the hairs on the jeans turn over and the fabric does not get used to it. And we do another 50 movements in the opposite direction.

You shouldn't press too hard, unless it's just a little bit. As a result, the blades even visually shone.

When in use, a sharpened razor cannot be distinguished from one just purchased. This incredibly simple tip will allow you to save a significant amount of your budget.
Naturally, you won’t sharpen the same machine all your life, but extending its service life two, three or four times, I think, will not be any problem.
Make 100-150 movements on the jeans, believe me, your hand won’t fall off - it only takes 2-3 minutes and as a result you won’t have to waste money.

    If you have a leather belt instead of jeans, the effect will be much better

    How do you put the after-shave foam back into the can?

      You should modify the interactive formats of transparency of your thinking and denounce retrospectives of the subsidiary form of your internal protectionism on the platforms of the passionate marginalization of spirituality within the framework of systemic thinking.

        What to do if the subsidiary form of protectionism comes into dissonance with the foreign policy of Vladimir Vladimirovich? After all, it will be a mess?!

    Complete nonsense. A couple of years ago I tried this method and it didn’t make me any better. Don’t waste your time and nerves.

      Total nonsense - this is a well-fed pig. And complete nonsense is what you meant.

      Who did you mean - an artist or a pasta - in both cases it is wrong. But we are talking about an institute.

      The paste is called GOI. Stands for State Optical Institute.

    With goyi paste the effect will be much better and there will be less movement.

      GOI is a hard paste, there are thinner pastes for finishing!

    And then shave with this razor? a great way to get at least irritation, not to mention infection (or should jeans be washed and disinfected before use???)? maybe then just shave with a towel, like in the army? It’s cheaper and you won’t get an infection

      When I pour boiling water for a shaving brush, I first put the machine there, disinfection is complete.

    Nonsense... Definitely...! All cutting edge technologies of stainless steel plates of modern razor blades are “sharpened” using a single nano-technology - applying a special platinum nano-layer exactly one molecule thick to the cutting edge... And that’s all...! unfortunately or fortunately..!

    When the molecular layer becomes discolored during use, in this case the razor shaves worse and worse, but scratches better...?

    I always shaved with a disposable vest. From 15 rubles. up to 20 rubles a piece. Usually about 14 days was enough. I recently bought one from South Korea to try, but it was made in Vietnam. 1 piece 6 rubles....and I can easily shave with them for 21 days!!!!!
