Thanks for pushing this post to the top. After reading it several years ago I began using the dip in alcohol method. My longest stretch so far is 15 months on the same blade.

you can actually hone the edge of a razor blade by rubbing it in reverse over regular denim (blue jeans) I have been sharpening my razors that way for years. when combined with this tip, I bet a razor can last a year or more.Originally Posted by hooks2bset
After this I got to thinking last night while in the shower and shaving. I took my razor and rubbed it on the wash clothe the opposite way of the blades too see if it would knock the rust off and I truley think it worked. I went back to shaving and knoticed the dang thing was sharper.
try it ...you'll see.

I myself just started using this trick in the middle of march, so i guess about six weeks for me now and still the same blade. I did go buy a container for alchahol so that i can dip it in that instead of blow drying the blade,hopefully same results. Thanks for the great tip much appreciated.
Man I can't believe I'm just reading this today. I've been going through 2 to 3 blades a week for the last couple of years. Working in a plant I'm required to be absolutely cleaned shaved everyday. If this works I might save a little money.
