DIY How to Sharpen Rotary Electric Shavers, Quick and Easy

[@boardbloke1]

Stumbled across this method as I have a 5 rotary blade shaver not disilimilar to the one in the video. Was sceptical but thought what have I got to lose, blades were quite blunt and I had gone back to a fixed razor 🪒 for when I wanted a close shave. Such a cheap, quick and simple method. A bit of Colgate and a bit of bicarbonate of soda It worked a treat! Thank you! Will do this monthly going forward!

Thank you. We're glad this method worked for you too. We have been sharpening electric shavers this way for a long time and thought we would pass it on.

DIY: Yeah, we have been sharpening our rotary shaver blades using this method for 3 or more years now, and it works really well to get more life out of your shaver heads. This method can also be used to sharpen most rotary shaver blades, including the 5 in 1 Wet Dry Rotary Shaver, which we have done for the past 2 years with good results. 👍Here's to Close Shaves, and thanks for watching.

Going to try this. It looks like a great way to save.thanks

Yup, give it a try. This sharpening method has worked for several years on our old Philips Norelco Shaver and over a year on the 5-in-1 electric shaver.

Okay, give it a try, and remember to sharpen about once a week if you shave every day. If you shave once a week, sharpening once a month seems about right.

I’m so confused

[@MaxHandyGadgets]

Nothing to be confused about; just use toothpaste, a little water, and a pinch of baking soda on a plate. Turn on your shaver, and with a circular motion, mix the toothpaste and baking soda together. This will sharpen your shaver blades. As the screen and blade mesh together, the abrasive will hone and sharpen your blades as it spins. Just do this method 3-4 times a month, and you're good. You will have better shaves, and the blades will last a lot longer too. 👍Happy shaving, and thanks for watching.

For most people this is very basic instructions. What are you confused about ?😂

Unfortunately, you provide no evidence that the blade is sharper at the end of your process than at the beginning.

Yea, you might be right about that, but like, showing me shaving my arms would make any difference; some would say that is just a new set of blades. Just try it and find out for yourself, as we did. We have been using this method of sharpening electric shaver blades for years on the same set of blades. Thanks for watching.
