Hi forum (first post)
So i watched a great video wheres there's a guy stropping a cartridge razor across denim (or in the video his arm). This was to straighten and clean the blade, allowing him to re-use the razor for up to 6 months! Another video a guy did a similar thing showing with a microscope how it does really clean up and a-line (sorry hows that spelt) the blades.
Has anyone tried a similar thing with a safety razor? I have a few times and it does seem to work.
My question is that this is with a 10 pound Chinese safety razor from a market, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience cleaning the blades of a safety razor with maybe a more expensive handle and different blades (mine are gillette).
Thank you for you time and I look forward to any responses you may have.
On an aside this has made me wonder about straight razors as they can certainly be re-sharpened/re-used.
Thank you.
