Yup, by 1933 it was pretty clear that you can't re-sharpen your DE blades:

but that schtick about sharpening blades in a glass tumbler is interesting.

I wonder if the guys that try to use a blade for the month of February have seen this?

Nice article. Thanks for posting. I've seen and almost purchased a few small blade hones at antique shops. Only for collecting purposes, of course!

Find a blade you like, buy it in bulk, and you may throw one away after one shave. Very inexpensive. No, really.
