Two ways to sharpen a reusable razor

Blades in replaceable cartridges of reusable machines can be restored after they become dull, thereby saving a decent amount. By working on sharpening with the proper effort and perseverance, it is quite possible to completely restore the cutting characteristics of the razor. The technology for restoring cartridges is very simple and accessible to everyone, since it does not require a special tool.

What you will need:

Baking foil in a roll;
toothpaste;
old jeans.

1. Sharpening blades on foil

You can sharpen the dull blades on the cartridge using foil. To do this, apply toothpaste in a line to the roll with it. We also apply the paste to razor blades.

Then the blades are sharpened by moving the cartridge against the shaving direction. The return to the starting point is already done in the air.

You need to move slightly in the transverse direction so that the blades rub along the entire length, and not just in the center. Usually 200-300 movements are enough for sharpening. As you grind the paste, you can add it directly to the blades.

2. Sharpening the razor on jeans

The blades are also sharpened by friction against denim. You can cut the pant leg and put it on a roll of foil to get a flat base. Then sharpening is carried out on gins, as in the case of paste.
