    Re: multi-blade cartridge sharpeners

    I would guess that such a "sharpener" could realign the blade edge, much like a steel does for a cook's knife, but it's hard to imagine prolonging the life of the blade indefinitely (such as 200x). It would also wear way any PFTE edge coating pretty quickly.

    I would be curious to hear from someone who has actually used one, however. If Classic is selling them, they have probably found them effective to some extent.

    : Hey all!
    : I went to my local CVS, and I saw this
    : product for sale. It claims to be able to
    : sharpen virtually any razor up to 200x

    : Classic Shaving also sells this product...
    : I have several questions:
    : Have any of you bought this thing and would

    : Would it sharpen DE blades? What about
    : injectors?
    : (I am assuming no to the DE, and yes to the

    : Does it live up to its claim?
    : P.S. I have to admit that this product does
