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!

Razor Mate has a magnetic draw. It sounds amazing and I’m sure my husband would like to try it. Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway.
Great Green Product
I like that it is a green product and substantially would reduce waste.
Today’s entry. I really like this!
The edge of your blade becomes distorted and unable to properly contact your skin. This is what causes cuts and irritation
I like the “green” side to this product. Think about it: Less razors purchased means less disposed razors in our landfills plus you save money to spend on other green products. I like! Thanks for the chance to win.

i learned 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.

Razor Mate works with any razor on the market, disposable or otherwise, men’s or women’s.
I never knew that use of a razor actually bends the razor blade. Always thought they were more sturdy than that. Useful information. Thank you.

My last entry! Thanks again for the chance!
Yea! Another day, another entry!
I like that it helps eliminate waste. Razor blades cost so much these days. This would be a great thing to have.
Despite being metal, the blades on your razor are quite flexible. This is because of their micro thin width. When you pull the blade across your skin, your razor distorts from repeated use. If you have ever experienced razor burn, nicks or tiny red bumps from shaving, this is why.
I just knew I hated all of the negative experiences, but never knew what caused them. If this works, I will be a faithful user! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
