Question - Do Blunt Razors Sharpen Themselves? Is it a Modern Miracle?

[robbied196]

OK, So I get up to go to work this morning knowing I have people coming in to see me, and that I need to shave!

Only I face a potential trauma, I didn't shave yesterday and my last Gillette Fusion blade, with Enhanced Indicator Lubrastrip, 5 Blade Shaving Surface Technology and 15 microfin comfort guard for more comfort, is at the end of week 8! I know its gonna rip my fuckin face off.

The last blade from a pack of 4 :******: I'm a big believer in getting value for money so the other used blades have done their time. Even my wife won't use them, and pubes are softer than chin stubble, but that's another thread!

So, I decide that swapping between the 4 blades during my shave will keep the pain to a minimum. I go back to the first blade and get a perfect shave leaving me with a chin as smooth as a pornstar's pussy!!!

The question is, what the fuck is that all about? Is it a modern miracle?

A razor blade placed in a pyramid "resonator" can become smoother and less angular over time.

The logical explanation is that you do not use the 1st cartridge up to the extent that you do the last, knowing that it is the last one. The first one is probably still fine when you decide to go for number 2, having thought one morning that it would be nice to put a fresh blade in.

Yea but its like out of date food, everyone knows you can still eat it a month later....................can't you?

hah definitly not a month, but sometimes upto a week after the date is fine.
in some situations companies will "reduce" a products actual lifespan timeline to be in the "SAfezone" so people can't complain if something goes bad earlier then stated.
just toss it upto luck!

It's like peel and eat shrimp, they peel and eat themselves.

Didn't mythbusters debunk this?

Being an extremely thrifty individual when it comes to razor blades (Damn those ******-fuckers are EXPENSIVE!!), I still have a Trac II blade from 1992 that probably has at least 2 or 3 more years left in it.
