At first I was skeptical – a little box you set on your bathroom counter that sharpens your razor blade with magnets. But after reading the concept about how a blade’s edge actually contorts after use, and how the magnets simply pull it back into place keeping the blade sharp, it started sounding logical. But too good to be true? I wanted it to work, after all. I hate paying $20 for a pack of razors, using them a few times, then tossing them in the trash. It makes me feel so wasteful and very “ungreen”. So I gave the Razor Mate a go, and I’m so glad I did.
I’m surprised at how well the Razor Mate works. I gave this item a good long test run because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t all in my mind. When the unit arrived I had a nice dull blade ready for testing, and I simply set my razor on the little box for a day or two until I was ready to use it. First time using it, I actually nicked myself, something I usually only do when I’m too forceful on a new blade. I was left with skin that felt just like it had been shaved with a brand new razor! I’ve been keeping my razor on the Razor Mate for over about a month now, shaving every few days, and it still works the same as day one. I am, in a word, amazed.
For those of us trying to cut down on garbage, consumption, and wastefulness, for those of us trying to save a few bucks, and for those of us with a love of recycling, the Razor Mate is well worth the $20. That’s the cost of a box of blades as it is. The people at Razor Mate say a blade can last up to 20 times longer, and I believe them. I’m really glad they want to give one away to one of you because it gives us all a chance to learn a little more about them. One thing to note: Razor Mate is NOT the Save A Blade you see on TV commercials. In fact, the two products work entirely different from one another. While Save A Blade actually runs sharpeners across the blades, Razor Mate doesn’t touch the blades but instead depends on the magnets to pull it back into shape. (See this FOX News story on how the Save A Blade actually damaged the test blades.) So make sure not to mix the two up – there’s a big difference!

dkMommy Spot » “Razor Mate” Magnetic Blade Saver Giveaway…
Comment, blog about, subscribe, and/or Twitter to enter to win a Razor Mate; extends the life of your blade up to 20 times longer. $20 retail….
The edge of your blade becomes distorted and unable to properly contact your skin. This is what causes cuts and irritation. I did not know that.
I subscribe.
By investing in a RazorMate(it sounds Australian!), you are contributing to help make this planet a better place. Go green!
This uses an electro-magnetic to straighten the warp in the blades. This is new to me.(However, it does remind me of the “pyramid power” tauted back in the 70s. Anyone else remember that? Keeping you razor under this little pyramid was supposed to keep it sharp.) It seems odd that no one else has mentioned the blades warping. I’ve seen a different style razor sharpener advertized on tv lately. They use what amounts to a rotating strop to hone the “tiny nicks” in the blade. It would be interesting to use both methods on identical blades to see which works better.
wow, I had no idea that this product worked with magnetic technology. I had envisioned a tiny knife-sharpener thingy-lol. I want one!
I hate wasting money on new razors and blades.
I just gave you a tweet!

This sounds very cool and interesting.
Strategically aligned magnets within the Razor Mate are what keep your blade perfectly straight. John Hastie discovered this principle while working as a NASA engineer on magnetostriction.
Thats neat that it uses magnets to straighten out the blade. Id be interested to see if that really works!
I like that is saves on trashing the earth so much, and saving so much money is a big plus too! Thanks!
I like that it works with any razor on the market, so you can just start using it without having to buy any special blades to go with it.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

A disposable balde will last up to 16 weeks with this!
It has an 100% lifetime guarantee – that says alot.
I like that it works with any razor so my husband and I could both use it.
It would be awesome and well worth the money if it works. What I found out: They offer free shipping in the US.

I learned that a NASA engineer created Razor Mate. I am so glad this device works. I am utterly appalled at the cost of even “cheap” new razors and blades!
I love that it works with all razors. It makes the $20 really worth it since my husband and I use different kinds. It also looks, to me, that you might be able to fit 2 razors on it. That would be even cooler!
I love that the Razor Mate can work on any blade – even disposables! It will cut down on waste and save $$, too!
