How to sharpen saftey razor blade to prevent scrap?

Question

The used saftety razor blades(double edged, double side) create a disposal problem in this part of the land. I do not like to thro them in the dust bin.

Is there a method by which we can sharpen them & reuse?

Any one knows how they are sharpened during manufacture ? Is a steel ribbon is cut to shape & sharpened or is it a sharpend ribbon ?

How is it 'platinum tipped' ?

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Put all the dull razor blades in a container and take them to a metal recycler (scrap yard).

You will not get anything for them, but they will be melted down and the metwl will be reused.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Do what I do, use a straight razor.  This eliminates not only the waste of used razor blades but also the cost of buying replacement blades.

Answer 3

Buy an electric razor, you only turn it on for a few minutes and it uses very little electricity.

Answer 4

why do you not cultivate a beard and a mustache
