Longer Lasting Razors

RE: Longer Lasting Razors Post By DARIN B. (Guest Post) (03/16/2005) I have been soaking my mach 3 turbo for about four weeks now. It still shaves like new. I may try the mach 3 power. If i can get the blades to last this long it will be worth it. The price of blades is insane, they really have by the short hairs. Now we can at least survive the ever increasing prices. RE: Longer Lasting Razors Post by ThriftyFun (4042) | (10/21/2004) Profile | Blog! | Contact Someone wrote a tip about putting razor blades in alcohol to keep them sharp. I thought, what a good idea, so decided I would try it on my razor. My razor is a Venus. I just took the head off an put it back in the tray it came in, poured the alcohol over the razor head. When i got it out the next time to use it, the alcohol had dried up and there was a gummy film in the bottom where the comfort strips had melted. Gross. So don't do it on razors with comfort strips. Bad news. It was a new blad and I had to throw it out. So beware, girls! Linda from PA RE: Longer Lasting Razors Post by Suzanne S. (200) | (10/15/2004) Contact We'll have to try this! My husband is in the military and has to shave every day, it's required. And the blades cost something in the nieghboorhood of $14 for a 8 pack! It's robbery. We'll give this a go and I truly appreciate the tip. RE: Longer Lasting Razors Post by ThriftyFun (4042) | (10/15/2004) Profile | Blog! | Contact It seems to work for all types of razor blades. It might even work on the blades for electric razors but you need to take them out of the razor before soaking. - Susan from ThriftyFun RE: Longer Lasting Razors Post by valleyrimgirl (466) | (10/14/2004) Contact Would this work for the disposable razors, the kind that last for 4 or 5 shaves?
