Details & Description...
RazorPit Razor Blade Sharpener
Mankind are proud to launch Razorpit; the revolution that will change your shaving experience and furthermore, decrease the expenses related to it.
For men who want to ensure their razors shave better and last longer. This sharpener is a small silicone plate that within the a few seconds sharpens razor blades, making them as good as new. Just a few strokes on the RazorPit are enough to extend the life of blades for up to 150 shaves. It removes soap coverings, skin and hair that sticks to the cutter blade and makes them dull. RazorPit is imperishable and by extending the razor blades life, you can do your bit for the environment and save yourself money because you do not need to throw them away as often.
Compatible with 95% of all razors
Razorpit is compatible with practically every shaver/razor on the market today. E.g. Gillette Mach 3, Gillette Mach 3 Turbo, Gillette Mach 3 Power, Gillette Mach 3 Power Turbo, Gillette Fusion, Gillette Fusion Power, Gillette Fusion Stealth, Gillette Venus, Gillette Venus Devine, Gillette Vibrance, All Wilkinson and a long list of other brands and models.
Directions
RazorPit Razor Blade Sharpener
To clean your razor, apply a layer of shaving foam on the horizontal surface. Then press the blade of the razor itself down onto the soft surface. This must be done with a constant pressure onto the silicone-surface. Then you push the razor against the conventional shaving direction while maintaining the pressure on the silicone-surface. This will ensure contact between the mat and the blades, thereby cleansing the dirt and residue of the surface. Push the razor over the mat 3 to 4 times. Rinse both Razorpit and razor under running water, and place the razor in the Razorpit, blade-side up.
This quick and easy procedure will with ease and elegantly remove the dirt, residue and particles left on the blade after a shave, and all without damaging the blade itself.
Notes:
The best result will be reached, when the soft surface of your Razorpit is completely dry before the shaving-foam or gel is applied. If a gel is used as opposed to foam, this must be massaged into a foam before commencing the cleaning process, since the gel otherwise can be troublesome out through the blades of the razor. To achieve further good results you should use Razorpit after each shave and when finished shaving place the blade upwards in the razorpit. For even more optimum results you should use Razorpit on a new blade.
Product Reviews
Excelente
"Estava um pouco reticente em comprar este produto mas depois de o experimentar, fiquei agradavelmente surpreendido. Duvido que afie as lâminas como anunciado mas, pelo menos, deixa-as limpas o que favorece o corte. Recomendo vivamente! "

Not quite as advertised
"Does it sharpen blades? Not really a little more research shows it cleans them. A dirty blade is still as sharp but is less efficient so a clean one is "sharper". Anyway, a nice clean blade, a better shave... or rather nice clean blades with exposed plastic where the soothing strips (or whatever they call them) have been worn away scraping against your face. I shave my head as well as chin so this device was supposed to save me a fortune, sadly I get maybe 3/4 more shaves with a blade before the disposable design makes it too uncomfortable to use. A fault of the product? No, but then they must know this is the case and ignore it, as there is a very small subset of blades this would actually work on to give 150 shaves!"

What a product!
"Buy one of these! Blade life up to 5 weeks easily. One small problem, blades still ok but once lubricant strip completely worn away you get a lot of drag from the holes at back of blade so don't expect to get more than 30-40 shaves realistically "

incredible
"Can't believe howvgood this is. I read a few reviews before I bought and all were very positive. I am really happy, it saves me a fortune on blades even the wife is using it. Really worth the money possible my best purchase this year. Peds "

Unbelievable...
"I truly cannot believe i have been using the same Gillette Fusion blade since April!! This product is quite amazing - Gillette must be shaking with fear!! Five stars!!"
Fantastic
"Fantastic. It works. Buy one."
A World Class Invention
"This product leads the field as a world class invention. It's simplicity is its genius. Each of my Gillette blades used to last me three or four days. Now they last me three or four months. I salute the Danish inventor. He's taken on Gillette and won hands down."
Razorpit rocks bells
"My shaving system of choice is David Somerset oil and a Gilette Fusion blade. I find that I usually need to replace a blade after about 5 days, so a 4 pack lasts me 20 days. At £8 for 4 blades, that's not cheap, and anything that can help extend their life has got to be good news. When my Razorpit arrived, I tried it out on a blade that I was about to replace. I'm still using that same blade, and my Razorpit arrived a week ago. It doesn't feel like a new blade, but it's still got a couple of days left in it yet. I reckon starting with a new blade, I'm easily going to get 2-3 weeks of happy shaving out of it. This thing is going to pay for itself in no time, and I really recommend it."
A good investment
"top stuff - very effective and will hopefully put a dent in the profits of those rip-off merchants at Gillette "
Everyone should own one
"Purchased this almost 4 months ago before there were any reviews here (or elsewhere). The product is brilliant - I've just started on my third Fusion cartridge, previously I would have used three in a month. "
Best thing I have bought in ages
"Ok, so I unwrapped it and thought it was just a very expensive rubber razor holder. I then tested it with some old, blunt Gillette Fusion and Sensor blades..and err..well it works!! The blades are very much sharper and gave a very good shave as good as a new blade. I would urge other wet shave users to try it as it will save you a fortune in blades and I shall certainly be buying them as presents."
Very impressive!
"I bought this wondering how effective it really would be - I'm amazed at how effectively it sharpens a Gillette Fusion razor (both sides). I've been using the same blade for over two months and I have thick stubble that normally blunts a blade within days! I've saved a fortune already - brilliant product!"
Unreal honest
"After reading various reviews left by others I thought why not. I purchased the sharpner a couple of weeks ago and as soon as it arrived I looked at it and thought what a rip off But I used it first on an old blade a gillett Fusion that had been used about 6 times and so far I have had about 7 shaves on it and it really does work. You got to try this it will save you a fortune in blades.... "
RAZERPIT
"Ive just passed 100 shaves & it does everything it says on the box. UNBELIEVEABLE!!!"
This works
"I was skeptical but possessing a thick stubble was either putting up with a rash or using two blades a week. I am now changing blades extremely infrequently. "
excellent product
"I never realised i had purchased this 2 and a half months ago until i checked my history and i am still using the same blade"
A good purchase
"They say the simplest thing are the best and this bit of kit proves it. It works really well and will pay for itself in no time."
Razorpit
"I have been using razorpit and one blade lasted for 142 shaves which is great. before I got razorpit one blade used to last 9 shaves. I would recommend this to everyone that water shaves. "
Buy One
"I had been reading the reviews on the web and couldn't decide whether to risk the 20 odd quid for this. Decided to give it a go and would write a review - good or bad - for others like me who were unsure. Using Gilette Mach 3 razors as does my flat mate. He has a thick bristly growth - mine is more wiry. He shaves every other day - I grow a beard for 2 weeks and then shave. I normally get 3 uses out of a blade if I am lucky then it starts to tug and cut me. Flat mate struggles to get more than 5 shaves.Bought it on 28th June 2010 - we both put new blades on when it arrived. We are both still using those blades. I've had 5 shaves and he has had at least 20. It's great and has already paid for itself.It's not a scam - buy one.I just bought cheap Asda Smart Price foam for use on it as I prefer to use gel on my face - prevents the clogging issue."
VERY IMPRESSIVE
"When i first opened this product i was a lil disheartened at to wat it actaully is but thought why not. i only jus realised i've being using same blade for 2 months now. i bought sum for gifts to and my friends are very impressed to. great buy"
Razorpit
"I am still sceptical about getting over 100 shaves out of one razor by using the razorpit but i've had mine for a month now and am still on the same blade Considering a blade would normally last 7 to 10 days i feel that is a result so far Worth the money to extend the life of the blades and get more money's worth from them Recommended"
Fantastic
"I haw hummed and hawed about getting one as at 20quid it'll either be brilliant or utter rubbish.I am delighted to say that it is excellent. I have revived a Fusion blade that I would have binned. Takes only seconds to use and is maintenance free. "
Superb
"Living in a hard water area, I wash changing my blade every 7 - 10 days. Since using this product I am still on the same blade 5 weeks later. It really does pay for itself in a very short time so buy one now"
Sceptical at first BUT....
"I was very sceptical at first. I tried a Razor Rescue from easylife but it was useless. Ended up sending it back as it actually made the blades feel blunter. When the RazorPit arrived I wondered if this very simple bit of kit would work but it honestly does. I used to replace my Mach 3 Turbo's after a week but now my blades last around 5 weeks. I don't personally believe the 150 shaves claim but I'm still very very pleased. I just hope the product lasts a long time...."
Great Value - Great Product
"I've had a razorpit for about a month now and I have to say - WOW! I'm still using the same razor!! No longer will I be buying those expensive blades every month. I have recommend the Razorpit to all my friends and will continue to do so. Great Stuff"
Great
"An amazing bit of kit. Pays for itself in a few weeks. Highly recommended"
IT ACTUALLY WORKS
"Received the product and fast i might add despite the postal strike I use the Wilkinson Sword Quattro Titanium with the battery op trimmer First thoughts were nice razor holder if nothing else I tried it the first time and didnt really see any effects the second time i applied some pressure as per instructions and it really did work i change my blade once a week and shave everyday now been using the same blade for the 3rd week and use the Razorpit every morning I havent had a shave like i have every morning since i shaved against the grain which i stopped due to ingrown hairs GREAT BUY only question is how long will it last"
Razerpit
"I have just bought thinging to myself if it does not work - it's only £20.00 but i can tell you it WORKS - i have had the some razor (Gillette Fusion) for over 2 weeks (10 shaves so far) now and it still gives me a very good shave - normally after about 3-4 shave my razor needs replacing - i def got a few more weeks with this razor"
Does what it ways on the tin.
"If I'm honest I wasn't sure quite how well this would work with the Wilkinson Sword Protector range that I use due to the 'bars' on the front of the razor. I was wrong and it works like a dream. It extends the life of the blades from about two weeks to two months and so I'm very pleased."
buy it!!
"saw review in mens health. still using a blade(mach 3) that i would have thrown away by now. well worth it. ordered on friday evening and came on the monday morning."
Razor Pit
"I like many others was dubious when the Razor Pit arrived in the post thinking how can this piece of rubber work. But after using the same blade since September I am a very happy man. Do not hesitate to purchase."
Must-have for multi-blade razors
"If you were skeptical I know the feeling. Despite the favourable reviews I didn't expect to get more than an extra few weeks out of my blades. Over 3 months since I bought this now and I'm just about to change my Mach 3 blade. I don't shave everyday at the moment and I do have a water softener but even so 3 months is pretty amazing. It works and makes multi-blade shaving cheaper than single-blade."
WOW
"You see something like this and you are always sceptical... BUT WOW had mine 2 months now - still on same blade since June after giving it a good seeing to with the razor pit on it's arrival. Now i only wet shave every other day alternating electric but the blade is still going strong.Guess what everyman friend is getting as a gift"
Astonishing
"This simple yet very effective product ensures your blade is much sharper and allows for a very close shave - using a not so new blade. A strong recommend for all wet shave users - it will pay itself off in as a little as 2-3 months. "
It just works.
"Ignore the last two 'reviews' I guess they have shares in Gillette. The Razor Pit is amazing it does exactly as it claims. I've had it for two months now and I'm still using the same Fusion blade. I resisted the temptation to post a glowing review after the first week as I wanted to give it a fair test. Superb."
Not as good as I had hoped...
"I had high hopes for this item and thought it would be a good way of saving money on overpriced razor blades. However, I have to say I am rather disapointed. After using the RazorPit I noticed no difference to the blades at all. I had followed the (somewhat vague) instructions to the letter but can only conclude that the product seems like a good idea in theory - but in practice it falls far short. Best avoided."
Product is OK
"Agree with the OK product review above. It only cleans not sharpens one side of the blade. It does extend the life of my Fusion blade but is it worth the price."
OK product
"First off this does not sharpen your blade. Dont know why this site claims it does the packaging clearly states that it just cleans your blade.So does it work. Somewhat. It does appear to stretch out the life of my Fusion blade a little while longer but was getting a fairly good life out of the blades by using good quality shaving cream and rinsing the blades well after use.Ultimately it can only clean one side of your blade and there is the problem.Considering the price of blades it doesnt take long to pay for itself.Not bad product but no miracle either"
Razorpit - still tryinng to decide if it works.
"I bought a couple of Razorpits about 7 weeks ago. One for each of my houses. I am still evaluating but I'm increasingly doubtful of the benefits. It seems to extend the blade-life a little. Perhaps two weeks instead of one but beyond that I seem to be finding the blade becomes less sharp quite quickly requiring a lot of pressure on the face to get it to do a semi-decent shaving job. I don't say it's completely useless but I think the hype surrounding it is much exaggerated."
Waste of time
"I'm so disappointed. Having tried it with a variety of blades I've given up bothering."
