Heres a good tip for you, use a flat mirror as the glass is 100% true rather than a wood table, 1500 grit is good but 2000 wet would be better but might be too fine. when sharpening just add a drop of water as you are sharpening.
One thing is I think you should have rinsed the blades before you put it on your face. There could be small particles of metal that could get in your face if you don't.
Fantastic. Not sure why I haven't thought of that before instead of being on my third replacement set in 6 years @ £35 a time in the UK! Here was I, looking to see if the battery was replaceable! haha.
@@sandydogy - Actually, I experimented with an old set of blades that I'd kept, before potentially damaging my recently new ones. Unfortunately, I can't sharpen mine as they are the double blades in each cutter, and it appears, slightly rounded.
I heard you can use toothpaste and just press it against your hand for about 30 secs 3 or 4 times. Toothpaste has gritty particles in it that apparently sharpen razors.
Indeed, dry honing a blade is quick, but cutting oil is worth the time for fine tolerance surfaces that need to fit well. Also, the oil dropper packed with the razor is ideal to "Break in" the first few shaves, as the newly-cut edges ride against the slotted foils.
1. If we keep replacing new heads, the same would happen - foil gets thin. 2. the real issue is what if the sharpened edges gets shorten - then it would not touch (or slightly touch) the foil eventually. Not sure how it would take...
@@maxmusclem I know you tried to fix it but understanding the whole speech is also important I am not American. American English is not easy for me. The answer of did it work is I tried what you did I am waiting, my beard should grow than I will try
My replacements cost under 10 I found this video looking for how to replace but this is interesting Replacements actually working better than the original ones

Don't mix up razors and heads!
Damn, you just saved me $50 in replacement heads.
I’m glad I came across your video before I spent the money.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome 👏
Dont forget to wet the wet and dry 1500 grit and they will be sharp
Doesn't work quite so well on the shavers with curved blades.
man, wish I saw this before I bought new heads! I'll try this when mine get dull
Thank you , I tried it and it really works, well done
Thanks for watching

The particles may act as a exfoliate as well . Yes I will rinse next time . Thanks
Always better to be safe, what tools especially those that touch your skin. Razor saws anything.@@maxmusclem

yes i replaced mine on a aqua touch videos on youtube just need to solder with a soldering iron

I’ve heard that too. Maybe I’ll try it next time
Everytime I take the blades out it's such a pain to put it back in and it doesn't cut as good.
$35 for new heads.... Over $A100 here....Going to try this method this method
I had to watch it again, useful information again saving money is what life's about when money is so hard to get.
Thanks for the tip from this bald guy in the UK. Gonna try this on my head shaver and blow £35 on something else?
Im going to try this, thanks!
Nice appreciate that save me more like 50 bucks!
Looks like you need a hedge trimmer instead of a razor.
You missed your calling As a comedian 😂
@@maxmusclem I know everybody tells me that.
Very cool! Thank you.
thanks bro
I think it won't work for new model like this because the blades is slightly curved if you have flat blades this method will sure do the work cmiiw
It only works on flat heads . You can try using toothpaste . There is a way to use toothpaste to sharpen . Just look it up

1500 grit sand paper a drop of water on paper would help . 😎👍🏻
Can’t hurt
Hey this looks like a good idea, def will try it. But sir please add some water or oil to your paper.
What does adding water or oil to the sandpaper do?
@@jamesfstokes It makes it wet! 🤯
It makes for a sharper/cleaner cut. I've been polishing metal for 30 year's, without water you're getting a raggered edge, far from sharp!
Indeed, dry honing a blade is quick, but cutting oil is worth the time for fine tolerance surfaces that need to fit well. Also, the oil dropper packed with the razor is ideal to "Break in" the first few shaves, as the newly-cut edges ride against the slotted foils.
Good practical demonstration, it looks pretty easy thanks..
Thanks
This will save a lot of money because I have a heavy beard. Thank you.
thank you😇
You misses a spot
Que ?
Well done
It changed but it still doesn’t cut the facial hair much
I was shaving once and one of the blades broke and cut the snot out of me. Rare occurrence I hope.
Oh wow . That’s not good
No problem sharpening blades but the foil gets thin eventually wears through and then you get cut
1. If we keep replacing new heads, the same would happen - foil gets thin.
2. the real issue is what if the sharpened edges gets shorten - then it would not touch (or slightly touch) the foil eventually. Not sure how it would take...
Brilliant. Love finding hacks like this. Well done, sir.
Great
Thank you
Great idea!
What granularity is that sand paper?
1500 grit wet/dry sand paper
Is that a wet or dry razor and would it make a difference?
This is a wet/dry razor . It should work on any as long as the blades aren’t curved
great video
Thank you
@@maxmusclem After, do this on glass..makes them even better :)
You need to add subtitles so that I can read also
I tired to fix it . Did it work ?
