The constant purchase of blades can be expensive for you. A single razor blade usually lasts only a few months. You will soon notice that you cannot get good results with your shaving. Bristles remain, and the blade begins to pull on the hairs rather than trim them. Follow these simple tips to extend the life of your shaver.

Steps

1. 1 Find a pair of old jeans. Place them on a flat, hard surface.
2. 2 Make sure the razor blade is dry. Quickly run the blade along the leg of the jeans about 10-15 times.
3. 3 Change direction and run the blade up along the leg 10-15 more times.
4. 4 You shouldn't press too hard. Just press down a little.
5. 5 Position the razor in the direction the razor is rubbing against your pants. In other words, don't “shave” your jeans; Point the razor the other way so that the blades slide over the jeans. Don't try to cut them.
   • The texture of the jeans will lock in any minor dips in the blade.
6. 6 If your blade is really dull, run the blade more times over your jeans.

Tips

• Remember, this method will not keep your blade perfectly sharp for years. You will need to replace the blade twice a year, but this is not that expensive anymore.

Warnings

• Don't cut yourself.
