How to sharpen razor blades, two ways


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.
foil roll

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.

I tried to sharpen, not really, not for long, I tried on jeans. New blades are always better new is new
one idiot wrote and the others echoed.
Now they will put the patch on the glue ...
But imagine what a signboard can be done: “We’ll darn anything, including gang contraceptives! " smile
And I think it’s unlikely ... Now you can’t find the vulcanizer during the day with fire ... Now they will put the patch on the glue ... And in order to roll it well, they will suggest putting the product on ... for landing !!!
stop by for tire fitting and ask for vulcanization
I would laugh in their place for half an hour, and then I would try, for the sake of fun, and demonstrations of qualifications! smile
But now I thought ... If you stop by in a tire fitting and ask for vulcanization, so as not to fool yourself? ))). Take it?)))
There is no darn! Then a vulcanizer is needed!))))
that is the flowers, but the male fuse ...
how to darn socks
This is not a problem, here is a darn tea bag, yes! smile
Very useful scribble. We are waiting for material on how to darn socks in the fourth year of socks and restore the thread on the tea bag.
At the time of the "initial accumulation of capital" a lot of "literature" appeared on all sorts of otherworldly things. Often sucked on the properties of the pyramids, wrote that razor blades restore sharpness. Almost industrially produced special pyramids for these purposes. One notorious figure from the esoteric audio - noble brawler comrade Likhnitsky, in the apartment was able to pile up hefty bricks, he was there, as if restored the needles of pickups for recording.
T-shaped classic machine, blade vest or chic 100 r for five pieces per pack. The machine is chic. Shaves bristles of any length easily. Replacing the blade does not bother. For two years now. Multi-blade machines for a lot of money - evil.
Today I stand, shave, no foil, no jeans, no packet of powder at hand! But a whole shelf of any spray cans, I liked the hair spray, the largest! Tomorrow at work I will polish a fire extinguisher and hang it to the right of the mirror! smile
In the 50s and 60s, good blades and blades were generally in short supply. Therefore, many used dangerous razors. This tradition, my opinion, has been preserved since the Second World War. This is a separate conversation. So here. Sharpening of such razors was done like this: the razor was first ruled on a bar-donkey. This is not a modern emery stone, but a very fine-grained, almost corundum, whetstone. Then they used a rough tarpaulin belt. (Such waist belts were in use) And finally, very carefully, ruled on a leather belt, making movements from the butt to the sting, then up and down. So, if you replace the jeans with a tarpaulin, it will be, in my opinion, more effective.
The first blade shaves cleanly, the second is even cleaner ..

It was recalled that during the time of this advertisement of Gillette, KVNovtsy made a parody-advertisement of Neva:
"The first blade shaves badly, the second ..... not the blade at all!"
And the tagline song:
Neva!!!...
He shaved - you are a widow !!!
(On the motive "Gillette. There is no better man for!")
Here, I think, something like this will shave "castrated" Gillette.)))))
You can sharpen. Just not for long all this.
and the blade in the end still has to be changed.
Well, the people are already going to patent jeans-sharpening, Anya came and broke off everything-)))
what if in a 4-blade machine 3 remove
Seal with blue electrical tape! smile
The first blade shaves cleanly, the second - even cleaner, ... the thirty-seventh - removes plaque from your teeth. I was wondering what if in a 4-blade machine 3 to remove and shave with only one of them until it becomes dull, then push the second in and so on until the fourth, eh?
This is not called sharpening, but straightening. Sharpening in this case does not occur, and in the end the blade still has to be changed.
A serious, crushing blow was inflicted on the manufacturers of shaving blades, now they will probably make the blades from aluminum, or tin, not just one-time but semi-blades, they will also grind on ordinary jeans, your tin, although no special jeans will be produced right now)) )
my husband sharpenes straight on a pack of powder standing on a washing machine says helps shave better
By the way, a leather belt also helps well. Somehow I forgot to buy cassettes (Familiar, huh?))). When you shave in the morning and tell yourself that it is MANDATORY to buy cassettes today ... And the next morning you think about it ... And the next too ...)))) .. And now, once “remembered” before that it’s already impossible to shave ... (And it was Monday morning. And I sometimes "give rest of the surface of the muzzle" on the weekend)))). And I remembered something else - as in hairdressing salons, as a child, I looked at masters who sharpened dangerous razors on leather belts ... Each one had a special belt on the wall with riveted leather "handle" ... And my grandfather used a regular, trouser . (Then no leather belts just happened!)
And then, remembering this, I also took out a leather belt from my trousers, hooked it on the handle of a cabinet with a buckle, pulled it on and pulled it several times with a razor. (The width of it just allowed him to fit between the plastics) ...
It helped!
True, at one time. Although I bought cassettes that day, but still, I tried to shave the "eternal cassette" again. I had to sharpen again ... Apparently, modern manufacturers, saving on good steels, "spray something solid" only the edge itself ...
go to the kitchen and look for a roll of food foil.
The main thing is that the wife does not see! I'm only allowed to eat in the kitchen! Any other manipulations on HER the kitchen is regarded as an attempt on her mistress authority! smile And like advice and thanks!
Hmm. The blades are flying away. In general, they go crazy. I tried how the author did. Set off. Everything worked out. Thank you
I knew about this method with jeans, but I heard about foil for the first time =)
Offset!
