    Just buy a safety razor off www.shaving.ie, 50 blades for €9.

    I'd question just how good that disposable could be. I would have thought they'd harden the edge of the blade meaning your shaving with the soft metal underneath when you sharpen it.

    been doing the for years with mine, I use the palm of my hand, (thick bit, base of thumb.

    makes a real difference. essencitally same as using a belt on a cut-throat razor.

    Whatever yous do don't buy the fusion blades off the chancers on Henry st/Moore st, i was stupid enough to buy some a couple of years back, they look the part but they'll shred the face off you.

    I actually ran out of blades yesterday, seen this thread just in time. Gave it a go, works quite well I must say.

    I did this with a shick quattro last night. It works; I was happy - got a great shave with a blade that should have been in the bin.

    My only worry is that the blades became very shiny afterwards. Usually, with DE razors at least, that's a sign you should throw the blade away. Don't know if it applies with cartridge blades though.
