    Save money, sharpen razorblade cartridges with your forearm

     

    How to keep your razor blade cartridges sharp for months or years!!!

    You won't believe this but my razor (Gillette Fusion cartridge ) has been going strong for over 20 months now...
    All I have to do is sharpen it every 3 or 4 weeks --- on my forearm !   Whenever the razor starts to feel like it is going bad, I slide it backwards with moderate pressure up my forearm about 5 or 6 inches for 10 times.  And it just works like new.   ( now I have to admit it has been almost 2 years since I used a new cartridge so I may be forgetting how good a new one feels... but mine just feels great)
    With the price of replacement cartridges - this technique can really save some money...  
    Don't do this everytime you shave -- only when you feel like you need to replace the cartridge.
