So... I found this on Indiegogo and want to know your thoughts on it. It's a razor cleaner/sharpener that has a rotating rubber blade. Should I fund this??? I have major skin issues so let me know how you guys deal with skin irritation.

This thing you are thinking of funding is total rubbish, the idea that you can keep a set of cartridge blades sharp forever is madness.

Buy a cheap DE Razor and a pack of DE blades as suggested above and don't waste your money on this gimmickry.

Sorry to be so blunt but I'm only being as blunt as your cartridge razor blades would be if you spent your money on it and used it

Hi personally I think you would be better investing the money for this into an inexpensive DE and some blades, the Wilkinson sword classic DE can be had for around £5 including some blades

Seconded on both counts, even if it did work its still false economy. Invest in the DE upfront and the blades are pennies. If you shave often enough you'll more than make your money back on what you would spend on disposables or this gadget in the first year.

Oh and you'd mentioned you have skin issues with irritation, it could very well be the disposables themselves or your shaving preparation and aftercare routine. There are quite a few variables to consider.

I used to suffer with skin irritation even using the old 2 blade gillette sensor excel never mind the 500 blade monsters (though I was guilty of using them for too long as well, being a student at the time) and my prep was non-existent, essentially splash and scrape.

Since the switch I go into my routine right after a hot shower, apply the lather, leave on my face for a minute or two before diving on with the blade (short passes rinsing frequently), cold rinse then apply a moisturiser of some form. Haven't suffered with any irritation since the switch even going against the grain (a bit of blood loss the first few goes but that's part of the adventure).

But everyone is different of course, all you can do is try.
 
It'll be better for your skin and wallet in the long run - providing you don't get carried away buying/collecting shaving gear like some folk on here.

Hello Bob. I am a Nigerian Prince. I'd love to fund your indiegogo. Unfortunately all my money has being imprisoned against my will in my home country because of political disturbances. I need small funds from you - only £500 - to... hang on someone's at the door...

[mother] What are you doing in there? Are you getting into trouble on the internet again? Nigerian Prince my a****!

[me] He did it first!

[mother] SLAP!
