PROBLEM:
Razor blades are expensive but feel dull after only a few shaves.
SOLUTION:
RazorPit cleans and sharpen the blade, giving you a sharp blade for months.
Patented razor sharpening and cleaning technology
RazorPit uses a unique and patented friction technology to clean and sharpen your razor blades. After every shave microscopical residue, like skincells, water, and keratin is left on the blades. That causes them to feel dull.
RazorPit uses friction to clean off the residue and thereby leaving you with a clean and sharp razor blade.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There is still hair left between the blades - So it is not working!
The dullness of the blade is not because of the hairs between the blade it is caused by particles of hair, soap and dead skincells left on the edge of the blade. RazorPit removes this like a charm.
You say it sharpens the razor blades, but it only cleans.
The dictonary defines a sharpener as “any implement that is used to make something (an edge or a point) sharper.”. That is why we used the word sharpener. The implement used is micro-cleaning the blade using the patented friction technology.
Gillette razors have metal on each side holding the blades in place and you can not pushhard enough to actually clean the blades as the metal prevent this.
Yes it can! The RazorPit has the same softness as the skin. This means that if you are able to shave with it, the RazorPit surface can come into contact with the edge of the blade. It is hard to believe, but it also hard to believe that you have to pay so much for razor blades.
My lubrication strip will be worn out?
The RazorPit will not wear out your lubrication strip more than 4 strokes over your skin would. Furthermore the lubraction strip is not at all necessary to have a good shave. As long as you use a shaving product there is no problem. And if you shave without shaving product normally, your skin is not sensitive, and again the lubrication strip is unnecessary.
It does not work - I can’t see any difference!
You will not be able to see any difference. The particles that are cleaned off the edge of the blades are only visible under a microscope. Instead feel the difference on your skin.

THE STORY
REALISING THE REAL PROBLEM
When starting work on the creation of the RazorPit technology, we started as most ideas do. With irritation! Razor blades went dull after just a few shaves. We decided to go more into detail with this.
Morten, as an engineer, took a methodical approach to finding a solution. He suggested that we start by buying the same type of razor blade for the three of us. Then we would use it to shave for the next 21 days to see the results. After 21 days of shaving, with some skin irritation from dull blades I might add, we had three test subjects (our razor blades).
Morten took these three test subjects and moulded them into a material. Then he cut the razor blades in half because he wanted a microscopic view of the razor blade’s edge. And after only 30 days of working with the idea, we found the real problem!
There was a coating on the razor blade’s edge. Something was sticking to the edge of the blade and causing it to become thicker and thereby dull.
HOW TO SOLVE THE REAL PROBLEM
That of course was a major victory and the feeling of discovery was a big thing for us. But it also led to the next frustration. Were we able to clean the edge and make it sharp again? We tried brainstorming. We listed all the materials we could think of that had some sort of cleaning power.
You would not believe how many things, materials and liquids, that have some kind of cleaning power. After spending many nights and days producing this list we met to go through it. From over 150 different cleaning aids, we went through the list to find the best bets. This resulted in a list of ten different cleaning aids. Our aim from there was to test every single cleaning aid to see which would perform the best. To put it mildly this idea failed miserably. None of the cleaning aids worked, and in fact some of them made the problem worse. Back to the drawing board, and to brainstorming.
The solution finally came, but neither from the drawing board, nor the brainstorming. It came from a band-aid! Yes, a band-aid! We all know that when you remove a band-aid some of the plaster glue is left behind. Normally you just remove it using your finger and the friction of the skin. There came our answer. If you are able to remove the plaster from your skin by using friction, are you also able to remove the coating from a razor blade using friction?
SOLVING THE PROBLEM
Now we were close. We had a problem, we had a plausible solution. We just needed to find the right material to clean razor blades. Knowing that the friction levels were the key, we started out by testing a mild sandpaper, and to say the least that was the wrong way to go. From there we moved on to rubber.
This had the softness that we needed for the blades to come into contact with the friction material. But it turned out we could not find a rubber material with a high enough friction level. We then moved to thermo-plastic elastomer, which is a sort of silicon with a very high level of friction and a high level of softness.
We took five plates of this material and started testing. The feeling was incredible when all of the five test people called up 30 days later and were using the same razor blade. We knew that we had a solution. In the first test our test subjects shaved 45, 34, 67, 123, and 157 times using a single razor blade.

USERS ARE SAYING...
I finally had had it with Gillette. $18 for 8 Mach 3 blades and I figured there's gotta be some way to make these blades last longer to save money. So I took a chance and bought this blade sharpener. Well it certainly does the job. When my blade gets dull, I cover the sharpener with a little foam (as per the instructions) then glide the blade on it four times and voila I'm back to about 80% as sharp as when I first used the blade. I've been using it for 4 weeks now and haven't had to change a blade - normally I get 2 weeks usage MAX out of a single blade. This thing will easily pay for itself in couple of months so a good money saver. - Frank J. Kelly on amazon.com
..Takes the $$$ out of shaving with a high end cartridge. If you like shaving with a more expensive cartridge and you're on a budget this is definitely the way to go... - Thomas Allen on amazon.com
..Four weeks in, and I'm still on the 4-day old blade I started with. Shave is smoother than a new blade. A 5-second investment in the morning routine that really pays off. ... - Barry Caplan on amazon.com
"Can't believe how good this is. I read a few reviews before I bought and all were very positive. I am really happy, it saves me a fortune on blades even the wife is using it. Really worth the money possible my best purchase this year. - Peds on mankind.co.uk
Wow! I bought this thinking that it 'could possibly' work, but after trying it out, it REALLY DOES!! My current razor was getting blunt and starting to pull the hairs, but after using this, seemed brand new! Something to definitely help you save money! - Graeme on Firebox.com
I bought mine here 3 months ago and I can concur that this does in fact work extremely well. So well in fact that I have just purchased half a dozen more as Christmas gifts. - Morris on http://www.mensbiz.com.au
