How to Keep a Razor Blade Sharp Longer

Disposable razors and razor blades are getting more and more expensive. However, if you want a shaving can still be the easiest and cost effective way to have smooth legs and underarms! A few simple steps will extend the life of your razors.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Shake the excess water off the razor after each use and blot with a towel. Do not rub on the towel because this will cause it to dull and also cut the towel.

2. Ensure the blade is dry by using a hair dryer. Moister is the biggest cause of a razor becoming dull.

3. Store the razor outside of the shower to keep it dry until the next use. If possible keep it out of the bathroom where there is condensation when others shower.

4. Invest in an inexpensive automatic razor sharpener. These are battery operated and normally cost around $10. Just use on your razor before each use to ensure a smooth shave.

Tips & Warnings

• The automatic sharpener I use is called Save-A-Blade.
