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.
Excellent and well put together tutorial. I recently purchased 2 7 head SEJOY shavers and after countless requests they don’t supply a replacement head. They instead offered me a 1/2 price deal if I order another .. anyway, still works brilliantly after 6 weeks or so but I am curious whether the blades can be sharpened. I’ll try this!!
Okay, give it a try; it works. We have been sharpening rotary shavers for years like this, and it really does work and saves you a few bucks each time. We thought we would pass this method of sharpening rotary shavers on to you guys since it works so well for us. Thanks for watching.
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.
Yes, the shaver is on when sharpening. The rotation of the blades sharpens themselves when rubbing up against the backside of the slotted screen plate with the abrasive. We have been using this method of sharpening rotary shavers for many years. It works good. Thanks for watching.
Thx for this - I'll try it asap. Seems legit; Toothpaste is slightly abrasive, so is the baking soda. You're basically creating a slurry of mild abrasive. Much like the slurry that forms when using a water whetstone... And since the blades touch the metal mesh when they spin... I think technically this would qualify as actual sharpening, not just deburring. As for the video format - for a more complete 'story' (and perhaps more views), you could consider showing a "before" (showing how it doesn't cut very well), then the sharpening, then rinsing, and then "after" (where it's clear how much the process has improved the blades). People are a little skeptical these days, since there's so much fake tutorials on the internet now It would be a shame if a quality tip like this would lose out to those clickbait videos (more views ultimately results in ad revenue, by the way. That's why you could potentially put the effort in. Making an extra buck on the side by sharing some tips and tricks... There are worse ways to make a living ;)) Cheers from Amsterdam 🤘
Thanks for the information, and as you said, this method of sharpening electric shaver blades is actually sharpening the blades, not just deburring them. Thanks for watching.
@@MaxHandyGadgets I subscribed, by the way. Saw your videos about fixing all kinds of different stuff - that's kinda what I do too. (for myself, and as volunteer work in my neighborhood - helping people by fixing appliances, bikes, electronic devices, etc etc. And helping with DIY projects for people that can't afford to hire a(n actual) professional) . Always tinkering, and fixing/reusing/restyling/repurposing things that people toss out (lights, vacuum cleaners, and so on) ~> That's how I got my 39" flatscreen, Nintendo Wii, midi keyboards, all kinds of tools and powertools (found a sheet sander this week - in perfect working condition), digital piano (gave that to a friend who needed it), acoustic guitar (made from 2 trashed acoustic guitars).. Yada yada - I digress. Point was: you repair a multitude of different things. So do I. Boom: subscribed.
@iggysixx Thanks for subscribing and helping other people in your neighborhood. Wow, you sound a lot like me; that might be scary, lol. Enjoy, and thanks for watching.
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.
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.

You're welcome.

For most people this is very basic instructions. What are you confused about ?😂
Does putting your socks on confuse you as well?
Unfortunately, you provide no evidence that the blade is sharper at the end of your process than at the beginning.

You must be a really sad human being to leave this comment. I mean this guy is posting help videos and you are complaining.🤦🏾♂️
