This is a true money saver. Every time I have to buy blades I am shocked how expensive they are.
Save a Blade Save money every time you shave! Get up to 200 close shaves with a single blade. Cordless electric sharpener glides across single or multi-blade razor cartridges converting used, dull blades into razor-sharp blades in seconds with push button operation. Reusing the same blade makes it easy to save a dime every time you pick up your razor.

I wonder if this would actually work. I’ve read that if you dry your blades after using them, they will stay sharper for much longer, but I’m not sure about actually sharpening the blade. Interesting idea though.

Actually just switch to a single blade safety razor, the Razor is (depending on where you buy it) $35 and the blades go for $6 - $10 for a 10 pack. So you pay between 60 and 80 cents for a blade. The blade lasts me usually for a week (you get two sides to it), I get a better shave, and heck, the $35 shaving cream (that is way way way better than the drugstore crap) lasts me a year as well.
You can be a well groomed ape for less than $1/day.

I’m not down with reusing razors. I’d stick to purchasing a new one.

It’s not the shaving that causes the blade to dull, but the water and cream! As the water dries, it can cause miniature rust spots. If you thoroughly dry your blades after each use, they’ll last much longer. Isopropyl alcohol displaces the water easily.
I use a Gillette Power Fusion and clean the blade with alcohol to clean off all the water and cream after each use. I’ve done this since Dec 2 and have yet to have to change the blade - no nicks or burns. The vibration of the razor under the alcohol makes sure that all water has been removed.
I usually change the blade out every week so I figured I saved myself 6 blades. I buy the 16pk blades from Sam’s Club for approx $38. A bottle of the alcohol costs $0.99 and lasts about 2+ months for cleaning purposes only. I’m definitely saving money!
