IT WORKS - BUT CHECK RAZORPITS WEBSITE FIRST, 13 Jan. 2013

Like most men who shave using a blade, I don't like being mugged for the extortionate cost of a new blade every 6-8 shaves. As I also shave my head with a HeadBlade fitted with a Gillette Sensor cartridge, I was paying twice as much.

I'd seen this item being sold for a while & decided to give a try - it was on offer at the time. It's a strange contraption, basically a piece of silicone(?) rubber, stretched over a hard plastic base, which you use to clean your razor blade. After trying different methods with it, I find that I'm now getting about 60 shaves per blade. So that means that instead of buying approximately 100 ish blades a year, I'm only using about 15 - & at about £1.00 a blade - that's a good saving. However, it is not a sharpener - it's actually a cleaner - it cleans the build-up of crap that's built up on the blades edge. Using the word "sharpener" is a bit misleading - if you have a completely blunt blade, this will not revive it.

It's brilliant. But I'm tight and I have discovered how to make it work even better, 16 July 2013

I thought it was about time I wrote a review on this. I have been using the "Razorpit" razor blade sharpener for about 10 months now, and frankly I feel a little guilty not telling the world about it.

I have to admit to being a bit mean. I actually see myself as someone who likes value for money, but most people who know me shake their heads in disbelief at my reactions when I feel I am being taken advantage of. I guess this is one of those moments...

So, I had been looking for a deal on some new razor blades as I was on my last one. It is getting a little tired and I felt I was going to have to bite the bullet and pay the full whack on some new ones. I end up searching online and I discover this. Due to some bad reviews that are leaving me in two minds I think about it for a few days. Anyhow, after those few days I do a quick calculation and figure that this is going to cost about the same as a pack of 5 razors - and if it works then fantastic.

So the...

does the Job, 19 April 2012

I was fed up paying a lot of money for razor heads,(over £2 each)so I thought I'd give this a go, and used it on some dying heads I had, I've gotta say this definitely does the job.If like me you've got iron filings for bristles instead of baby fluff, you'll know how long a blade really lasts and not what the manufacturers pretend, this item will at least treble the length of your head, saving you money almost straight away.I've had mine a couple of months and it's already paid for itself.I would definitely recommend it.
