About this deal

You'll be using the cloth to rejuvenate the blades on your safety razor, but doing this could cause the fabric of your jeans to fray or deteriorate over time. Your skin has natural oils that protect it from the environment, but these oils can also harm the quality of your blade over time. But with a few tricks to prolong the usefulness of your razor, you can save yourself some bucks by preserving your blades. Use moderate pressure and run the blades of your razor along the straight part of the top of your forearm with the direction of the blades and not against.

The need for sharpening razor blades might be less today than it was during and after the Depression. If you’re sharpening a straight razor, eyebrow razor, or safety razor, flip your razor over when you’re done and repeat the process on the other side of the blade. To rectify these tiny tears and bends in the metal, people use stropping material to remove ragged burrs and re-align the misshapen steel back into place.To recap, keep moisture, oxidation, and rusting at bay by cleaning, drying, disinfecting, oiling, and storing the blade properly each time. If you don’t have anything else around, another option is to use materials like canvas or any old pair of blue jeans.

The RazorPit working surface is made from a thermoplastic elastomer which is a type of silicon, this material has a high level of friction and a high level of softness which is perfect for getting between the blades and removing the residue. On a microscopic level, dragging the razor up the material realigns the craggy blade so it once again forms a clean, straight edge. To evenly and completely strop your blades, you'll want perform the same motion in the opposite direction (on the same section of denim) as well. Once every few weeks, swirl the razor blade around in some rubbing alcohol to kill any contaminants. The combination of air and water droplets causes the metal to flake off and causes the edge to grow blunt and jagged.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"

Before you sharpen your old razor blades, soak your razor in a cup of warm, soapy water for 15-30 minutes to clean it, then let it dry completely. Be careful not to slip and run the blade side-to-side, as this could result in you cutting yourself. As a side note; a reddit-user by the name Le Zouave points out that you should not hone modern blades. For best results, allow your razor to soak in a cup of hot, soapy water for 15 to 30 minutes, swirling your razor in the water occasionally.You might consider using a mineral oil or a small amount of cooking oil on your blade after drying it. Though bathrooms have a higher humidity level than other rooms, you don’t have to keep your blade elsewhere. Shaving with a laser-sharp high quality razor blades is one of the key points to a smoother shave and having a great shaving experience. The technique you develop will largely depend on your choice of razor, blade and strop so feel free to experiment.

\u00a9 2023 wikiHow, Inc.The ultimate, number-one reason to sharpen safety razor blades is obvious - if shaving with a finely tuned razor blade across your face with shaving cream isn’t a little piece of heaven to you, then shaving with a dull and rusty blade is still no better reality. You can remove much of the excess moisture from your razor by holding it firmly and shaking it into the basin of your sink.
