Save A Blade by smoothpaul on 14 May, 2008 16:29

I looked through the threads and I couldn't find a review on the product called Save A Blade. I just bought it and it seems to be doing what it claims it can do. I had a fairly new razor that was starting to dull a little. I followed the instructions and it actually seemed sharper than new. I wondered if anyone else has tried this product. It's not obscenely expensive and if it can make a razor last even a month longer, it is worth it to me. Try it and tell me what you think.

Did you order it or buy it in a store? The only problem I have with it is that it can't replace the moisture strips on your blades

I have a theory that they were actually introduced to reduce the perceived life of the blade, because my blades stay sharp long after the moisture strip is degraded. However I find I run into more irritation if its degraded, I partially solve this by putting a thin strip of headblade shave product along the strip before and after every shave. -

Intersting theory.....I also wondered if that was the idea behind it.....to make you change blades more often..... -

Can't wait for the product review.............If it works even half as good as they say it does, then its worth it weight is silver.

I have the same issue, I'll need to try putting some product along the strip. Thx for the tip. -

Blades for cartridges are ground and the hone to microscopic precision on machines costing hundreds of thousand of dollars.
This gizmo looks like a slap sander to me and it's only working the blade from one side, what happens to the burr that raised??
I have over 30 years experience sharpening woodworking tools like chisels and planes.
A chisel or a plane iron is like a cartridge razor blade, it only has one bevel.
When you grind and hone the bevel you create a wire burr on the edge, you remove this burr by honing the back of the blade flat on your honing stone.
This gizmo is not only going to screw up the precision bevel, it's going to create a burr which won't do your face or head any good.
If you want to save money don't spend it on $3 cartridges, get your self a DE razor and enjoy shaving with blades that cost $ .20 a piece.

My local ABC affiliate does a "does it work" segment from time to time testing out things you see on TV. They just did one on this and they gave it a thumbs up (meaning it works and is worth the money).

Could you do a search of the channel that it was on and post a link to it? -
