How to sharpen electric shaver knives at home?

An electric shaver is a mobile everyday appliance. Without it, it is almost impossible to imagine the conduct of male hygiene procedures. Below we will figure out why you need to monitor the condition of the blades, and what effective methods are for this.

With an electric shaver, you can easily remove excess hair on the face, while almost no other hygiene products such as shaving gel or foam are used. The good thing about this device is that it can be used anywhere and under any circumstances.

As the razor is used continuously, the blades lose their original performance. Even with a self-sharpening function, razors gradually deteriorate. The question is not that the device will function poorly, but that there is a possibility of blunt blades inflicting injuries and cuts in the face and neck area, as well as infection.

If the blades of the razor are dull, then they will not ideally cut off the hairline, but, on the contrary, pull it out along with the follicles. In the future, this will create problems with the density of the beard, in some places it may simply be absent, which is not aesthetically pleasing. There are several solutions to this situation: sharpening the blades yourself or changing them.

Sharpening electric shaver knives at home is a fairly simple task. If you follow the rules of using shaving machines and properly sharpen, such a tool can last for many years.

One of the effective and simple solutions for how to return the blades to their factory specifications is to sharpen with sandpaper. If the blades are dull, you need to act according to a certain algorithm.

• First, the blades are completely removed from the device body.
• The knives are inserted into the shaft or cardan, after which the device should work for 10 to 15 seconds. The knives are set down on the abrasive paper. The blades are necessarily pressed against the surface of the paper.
• Next, sandpaper with a larger grain is taken, and the steps are repeated.

At the final stage, a dry brush is taken, all dust must be shaken off. The blades can be inserted back into the device.

To effectively sharpen men's razors with your own hands at home, it is also recommended to use GOI paste. The fine-grained powder helps to perfectly restore the structure of the blades. The procedure is performed sequentially.

• At the first stage, a flat-bottomed dish is selected, into which a small amount of pasta is placed.
• You can use regular vegetable oil to soften the mixture.
• Then a little solvent is added. It must be remembered that the substance must be thoroughly mixed to obtain a homogeneous mass. It is recommended to stir with a wooden spatula.
• The result is jelly. Ideally, it should cover a few centimeters at the bottom of the crockery.
• Further, the razor blades are completely immersed in the prepared mass.
• The device should be in the on mode for 1 to 2 minutes.
• At the final stage, a flannel napkin is taken and the excess mass is removed.

Denim is also good for restoring the sharpness of razor blades. This is one of the most budgetary ways. According to the instructions, it is advised to follow several steps.

• Turn out denim.
• Place the fabric on a sturdy object.For these purposes, a table or a wooden bar may be suitable.
• The material is held diagonally or evenly, depending on the sewing of the product.
• The razor blades move in the opposite direction to the one used for shaving.

While this is a very cheap option, it may not always be effective. This is most often due to poor quality denim or material expiring.

If you have certain technical skills and desire, then you can give a second life to your razor. You just need to decide in advance on the most suitable way to sharpen the blades. This is an additional savings in the family budget and an increase in the service life of the device. Following the proposed algorithms will allow you to sharpen your razors yourself no worse than in specialized workshops.

One of the best and highest quality ways is to use GOI paste. When choosing options, it is advised to focus on the complexity or simplicity of the algorithm, the cost and condition of the electrical appliance. If it is not possible to rehabilitate the blades at home, it is better to immediately seek help from specialists who have the appropriate tools.
