Multi-blade razors shave cleanly, but their cost is such that sometimes you wonder if it would be cheaper to let go of a beard. In addition, their manufacturers, once having unwound a product brand, are gradually reducing the period of its comfortable use. Below are two very simple ways to sharpen the razor blades, if you decide to save on the purchase of a new cassette.
First sharpening method
In order to sharpen a multi-blade razor in this way, you will need to go to the kitchen and look for a roll of food foil.
The razor is sharpened with its help as follows:
1. The roll is placed on the table or simply, taking at one end, held in hand.
2. Slightly pressing the blade of the machine to the foil, once 100-150 spend them on a roll in the direction opposite to its normal movement during shaving.
If there is no foil roll in the kitchen, then you can use another way to sharpen a razor.
Second sharpening method
To sharpen the machine blades in this way, you will need objects that are likely to be in every home: jeans and an ordinary wooden mop.
Blades, using them, sharpen like this:
1. Turn the jeans out on the wrong side, put them on the table and thread the mop into one of their legs.
2. Fix the fabric, pressing it with your hand to the table so that it fits the mop.
3. Drive the machine blades over the jeans in the same way as in the first method on the foil: in the direction opposite to the razor movement of the machine. But since the mop is longer than the roll, the amplitude of the movements of the machine is increased, and their number is reduced.
Instead of a mop in this method, you can use any solid and long oblong object, even though a leg from a chair. The main thing is that its diameter be less than the width of the shaving part of the machine, otherwise during sharpening it will rest on the fabric with “sides”, and the blades will not come into contact with it.
If these options for sharpening a multi-blade machine seem too long, then the process can be accelerated by pasting with a denim, for example, a cover from an electrical outlet and fixing it in an electric drill chuck. But it will already be special devicewhich takes time to make.
