Letters of praise from satisfied RazorMate users

Several months ago, I did an experiment, just to try and see how long I could shave with the same blade. After three and a half months, to be exact 106 days, I was still using the same blade before I got tired of looking at it and decided it was time for a change.

The way I accomplished this was to wash it thoroughly after each shave and vigorously shake it several times, then drying it and placing it into my RazorMate.

I know some people will say that this is impossible. Maybe every blade doesn't yield the same amount of shaves, I am trying another now.

It takes quite a long time for a blade to get dull, it is the distorted edge that gives you the problem. The RazorMate corrects this problem every time you place your razor on it.

I purchased one of your razor blade conditioners and have been extremely pleased with it. I feel that it has paid for itself many times over due to the fact by using it the life of a blade is extended considerably.

Since I have two Schick Injector razors, I felt I should order another conditioner. That way, I can have a razor in the gadget for two days in a row.

Thank you very kindly

It can be said that in this age of rip-offs and people being sold shoddy products by unscrupulous manufacturers, that your product stands out as a truly reliable and useful product. There must be millions of men in the civilised world who silently endure the daily torture of having to shave with razors which are not as keen as they should and could be.

For most of my adult life I have looked for some kind of shaving equipment which would offer a comfortable shave each day. I recall the days of the Schick Injector blades during my days in the Army, the Autostrop razors and introduction of the electric shaver. The last one has never given me a really clean shave, but I would use one twice a week to spare my face the assaults from a blade. When Gillette came out with their twin blade swivelling arrangement I was really impressed by it. However, I would have to use one for about four shaves before I really got a comfortable one. Then the blade would not last much beyond ten days. It is difficult for me to believe that Gillette or Schick who do much research in blade technology were not aware a long time ago about how blades become less efficient. However, it would be counter-productive to their efforts to sell more and more blades to develop one which would stay sharp for a prolonged period of time. It remained for someone else to discover a method to recondition the blade to keep it sharp and efficient for prolonged periods of time. I congratulate you on your perseverance in finding and developing such a mechanism as the RazorMate.

I now understand why my father and old-fashioned barbers used a leather strop to hone their straight razor blades. It was a crude way of straightening out the bends and distortions in the blade which your mechanism does so elegantly.

There are things which we do everyday which are considered to be onerous chores and shaving has always been one to me. However, I can truly say that since I have been using the RazorMate that I even look forward each morning to getting a really comfortable and clean shave. You have my gratitude for inventing a truly useful and ingenious mechanism.
