Makes Mach 3 Blades last for almost 4 months, 19 April 2012

This product is superb.

The first thing is that it keeps your razor blade (Mach 3 or whatever) sharp for months. This makes for quicker shaves that are free from nicks and razor burn. It is very simple to use. After each shave, all you do is put a little foam on the RazorPit, and push the blade across it four times. It takes about 5 seconds.

This could save you £50 a year if you shave every other day, almost double that if you shave every day.

Given that 8 Mach 3 blades costs anywhere between £12.50 to £18.00 depending on the stockist, everyone who shaves using a blade should get this. I find I can get about 2 weeks (6-8 shaves) out of one Mach 3 Blade. That's 26 Mach 3 blades a year costing anything up to £56. Using the RazorPit Teneo, one Mach 3 blade lasts me almost 4 months which is around 60 shaves, more or less. This means that I will only need 5 Mach 3 blades for each year. With the RazorPit, a years supply of Mach 3 blades costs just £7.50 (at...

These Work and Save You Money., 15 Mar. 2015

I have used a similar device for quite a while now.

There are many of these devices on the market and for sale on Amazon.

All are much the same despite what they say.

The big question is do they work?

The answer is Yes.

So they will save you a lot of money if used correctly and you use the right sort of blade to re-sharpen.

Now that is all you need to know but if you would like to know a little bit more read on.

Firstly because the devices are mostly the same or rather they do the same job it may pay you to shop around and get the most keenely (sorry could not resist that adjective) priced one.

Certain company blades work really well like Wilkinson Sword others less so.

If you have one of the older type of blades with the gimmick wires across the blades this device will not work.

Other blades of the 5 type variety have less of a gap between the blades so are not cleaned as well as other...

Strop excellent Stand useless., 12 April 2015

This product cleans and therefore by definition sharpens the disposable blade and it does the job of a barbers strop adequately well.

In my opinion what let's this product down is the stand; if your Razor pit is going to remain stationary and upright in your bathroom then it's just fine, it is after all, a stand.

If however you are often travelling and require firm storage in a stand then the one provided is quite useless... It doesn't grip or hold the strop at all, it doesn't grip or hold your razor at all and the blade head can move along the bevel of the pit that "holds" it no doubt causing some dulling of the blade you've just sharpened and it doesn't grip and hold your spare cartridge case.

If only the developers could have designed a stand that held all three items firmly in place I could have disposed of the casing that comes with branded razors and had everything stored firmly in one unit.

As it is, for the traveller, the Razor pit...
