RazorPit The Original Razor Blade Sharpener and Razor Case, Great for Travel, Sharpens and Cleans

About eight years ago, I gave up on Gillette razors. Expensive and didn't last more than three or four shaves. However for Christmas I was bought some shaving goodies including a Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor Olympic Gold Edition something which I had poured scorn over when it came out. "5 blades? Who needs 5 blades!" However I gave the razor ago and was genuinely impressed at how easy it was to get a very close comfortable shave with. However after a few shaves the blades were dull and I baulked at the cost of new blades.Browsing at Amazon looking at the blades I came across this little wonder. I lump of rubber that claimed with the help of some excess shaving soap to reinvigorate your razor blade and make them last longer. I had to give it a go. For the cost of less than a packet of replacement blades I had nothing to lose.The Razorpit turned up promptly and I gave it a go. A little excess soap on the base and then four stokes of the razor in the opposite direction to that used when shaving.Looking at the blades it was impossible to the tell with the naked eye as to whether anything had changed, whether or not the blades had be cleaned and therefore were going to be any sharper. However as soon as I shaved, it was like shaving with a brand new razor. No tug and pull and a very clean shave indeed.I have now been using the same blade for three weeks (nowhere near as long as Razorpit suggest is possible) but it is still like shaving with a new blade every day. To think that before I bought this I was going to through away the blade that I am still using. Not only does the Razorpit save you money, but it also is more environmentally friendly.A great product.

It works like a leather strop that barbers use. It sharpens by cleaning away debris left on the blade. Excellent product. It will save you a lot because blades are so expensive, and you don't have to keep buying new ones.

Works excellently for Wilkinson Sword hydro 5 blades, they really do look "fresh" shine elegantly and the hair and skin debris get removed thoroughly. The Razorpit has made me realize how bad Gillette fusion proglide blades are (DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND CAPITAL ON MODERN GILLETTE!) I tried the razorpit with a proglide blade and I feel the design is so poor on these blades even this great razorpit can't do them proper justice, because the fusion blades are too close together hair can't get properly removed, especially from the corners of the blades. Thus even after cleaning on the razorpit they don't shave well at all. So bad I have thrown my 2 year old fusion proglide out.I think because the Wilkinson Sword blades and further apart and better designed in my view. The cut, clean and indeed last longer. I have been using the same Hydro 5 blade for something in or around 6 months now. Most of that is before I even owned a razorpit of course. What does that tell you.Next stop DE razors!

I’ve bought this for a lot of men as presents; no returns.

Razor system used: Wilkinson Sword Quattro Titanium.Usage: five facial shaves per week, plus selective body hair twice a week.I followed the manufacturer's instructions to the letter.Oh dear, I so wanted to believe that I would get LOTS of shaves from a Razorpit-cleaned blade, even if the claimed 'up to 150' could not be reached. That figure might be applicable to scraping off a teenager's first soft and fluffy growth, but I didn't expect to get anywhere near it really. Good job.However, I did expect more than 18 comfortable shaves from the same blade. The difference between a new blade and my 18-shave blade is marked, both in glide over skin and closeness of cut, so much so that I have called it a day on the first blade and am now using a new second.Now, I could have persevered with the first blade, to see if I could have got 25, or 30 or more shaves from it, but it was starting to feel dulled, so I have discarded it.The good news is that as I continue to use the Razorpit I will effectively half my blade usage, or if you prefer, save 50% on blade costs, so not all is lost. The item will still pay for itself in a couple of months. If I consider 15-18 shaves per blade as acceptable (and that is a lot more than I used to get) then the Razorpit is still worth the purchase.

Tolles Teil. Funktioniert tatsächlich. Ich habe testweise eine recht stumpfe Klinge (Mach3) wieder brauchbar scharf bekommen.

Lo compre con cierto escepticismo por alguna reseña negativa que leí, pero después de utilizar el producto, no me parecen justas. Llevo 6 meses usando la misma cuchilla y acabo de regalarle uno a mi pareja. No se que esperaba la gente que dice que no le funciona.. a lo mejor no saben usarlo o tienen la barba durísima. A mi me ha funcionado perfecto.

Mala descripción, más que "blade sharpener" debería decir "blade cleaner", solo sirve para limpiar las hojas de rasurar, no para afilarlas.

FUNZIONA VERAMENTE!!!ALLUNGA LA VITA DELLE TESTINE GILLETTE FUSION 5 (MA ACNHE MACH3 ETC..)FINO A 10 VOLTE DI PIU' (QUINDI 100 BARBE PIUTTOSTO CHE 10)...SEMPLICEMENTE RIPULENDO E RAVVIVANDO IL FILO DELLE LAME CON LO STESSO PRINCIPIO DELLA CORAMELLA SU RASOI A MANO LIBERA...DA AVERE ASSOLUTAMENTE!!! PS COMODO ANCHE PER APPOGGIARE IL PROGLIDE E FAR SCOCCIOLARE

Okay I didn't think this would work as well as it did. Even though the idea of 'stropping' is sound you're only doing one side of the blade right? Well, it works better than expected. I am Asian and admittedly don't have a lot of facial hair, but I use to feel lucky if my blade lasted 21 days. This blade has lasted 21 weeks using the RazorPit. Well worth it. At this point I'm wondering when to start a new blade! Now, this blade after 21 weeks of daily shaving is clearly not as sharp as a new blade, but it feels as smooth as day 1. It is comfortable and still is working. Great product, I've since bought 3 more as gifts and highly recommend this. It's not magic, it doesn't sharpen the blade, but will extend the use. Works as advertised.
