Most good razors only last about a month. That means spending roughly $20 on a new razor. That's $240! Do you really want to spend that on razors when it could be going towards something nice for your family?

#3 This method, allows you to get the most use out of a razor, and it’s incredibly simple. It’s going to save you a whole lot of money.
All you have to do is sharpen your razor on an old pair of jeans. I know it sounds odd, but trust me, it works wonders.
#4 Simply push the blade gently along your jeans. Just make sure your jeans are on a flat surface when you run your blade along the surface.
Simply do this a dozen times each time you sharpen your blade.
You sharpen the blade by gently pushing it along a pair of jeans, thereby prolonging its life and meaning you won't need to buy another razor for a year.
The trick is simple. You can either use a current pair of jeans (the razor blade won't ruin them, but it may cause wear over time), or an old pair of jeans.
Put the jeans on a flat surface, make sure the razor blade is clean and dry, and run the razor along the jeans. Doing this a dozen times should be enough to sharpen the blade.
This will stop your razor from becoming dull over time. Pretty neat, right?
Though, it is recommended that you replace the blade after a year of sharpening as the blade becomes scruffy and needs to be replaced.

Geoff, an English teacher living in the Philippines, swears by the jean sharpening method. ‘It really does work. Gillette blades are expensive and this prolongs their life for ages.'
You can use this amazing trick on expensive razors or cheap disposable ones.
Geoff added: ‘In fact I sharpened my nine-month-old blade this morning by using the method, the blade is still sharp and I always get a close shave. It's a great way to save money as blades are quite expensive.'
