Product Description
Time to tune up your razor blade, time for the RazorPit. RazorPit uses a unique and patented friction technology to clean and sharpen your razor blades. After every shave microscopic residue, like skin cells, water, and keratin is left on the blades. That causes them to feel dull. RazorPit uses a patented friction technology to clean off the residue and thereby leaving you with a clean and sharp razor blade. We have customers saving up to 90% on razor blades - But the average saving is around 60% a year. RazorPit makes expensive razor cartridge refills and dull-bladed shaving a thing of the past. More than 600 million men use razor blades and throw billions of razor blades in the trash every year. But there is nothing wrong with the blades. They simply have to be cleaned. With RazorPit, you can prolong the lifespan of the razor blades considerably and help the environment.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I shave 5-6 days a week and prior to the RazorPit would get about two weeks (10-12 shaves) out of a cartridge. Now after using the RazorPit I get about 2 months out of a cartridge (40-48 shaves). With the Fusion blades I use costing $4/each, that is a $80 yearly savings!
Even if your mileage varies a bit and you use different cartridges or get a few more/less shaves out of a cartridge, this item will still pay for itself in a few months time. It is kind of a no brainer; my wife even uses this to extend the life of and increase the comfort of her pink razors.
HINT: Use this thing from the first time you replace a cartridge; do not wait until your blade is feeling old because this product does not sharpen a dull blade, it will however help maintain a cartridge and keep it from feeling dull. This is one of the best product purchases I have ever made on Amazon.
UPDATE: ...It has been over a year later and I still love this thing. I have been toiling with the idea of chucking my Fusions and going full time snobby, old school single blade but the Razorpit kind of negates the financial benefit of doing that. Plus I figure there has got to be something to the research into creating these multi-blade cartridges because I get a close, nick free shave just about every time...even when I am shaving half asleep.
UPDATE 9/2016: This thing keeps impressing me. Still works as good 2+ years later. Still increasing the lifespan of my cartridges by ~400%.
UPDATE 2/2021: This thing has saved me over $500 by extending the useful life of my blade cartridges. Scores for my face and my wallet.
This black rubbery thing is a convenient, easy to use piece of plastic/rubber/miracle material (who knows what?) that is as low-tech as you can get. You basically just run your razor over it a few times and BANG! your blade is restored to almost new sharpness and comfort. I'm sure I've at least doubled the life of my blades since using this gadget. I keep it in my shower and sharpen my razor right before I shave -- piece of cake.
This is an excellent investment in blade life -- and COMFORT! You won't be sorry you bought one, believe me! As far as those old-fashioned razors they advertise on TV now, and one I bought through Duluth, they can't compare with the improved comfort of the multi-blade razors, in my opinion. And, if you wanted to, you could sharpen those double-edge blades on the RazorPit, too. But with this gadget, you'll save money on your multi-blade refills so that you won't have to resort to a less comfortable shave just to save money. I also now use the Shave Secret Oil, which is better than any of the Edge-type shaving products I've tried; better shave, fewer nicks.
UPDATE 8/12/2016: more than three years later and the Razor Pit still sits on my shower ledge and still gets used daily. It has held up really well and the construction and durability are impressive. I have never improved upon the extra week or so per blade, but I am fine with that and have felt no need/desire to switch to a leather or denim/cotton strop. I have had the best results with the Razor Pit combined with Dorco 6 (my preferred) and Gillette blades. Schick blades have done pretty well also. Harry's blades have not done well nor had Dorco 7's. Even though I have had the great life from this product, I still can't see spending $17 on it like I did in 2013. Seeing that the price is now $12.99 or less, I have bumped up my rating to 4 stars. At 12 bucks this is a pretty solid investment.
ORIGINAL 4/27/2103: This is a nice take on a traditional strop. I like the concept and it does seem to work fairly well, not amazing, but noticeable. I get about 8 more shaves on average per razor since buying this in February, so about an additional week's use per cartridge. I shave against the grain (always have) and have moderately coarse, extremely fast growing facial hair. It is not unheard of for me to shave twice per day if I have an evening event. I also shave my head, so I'm pretty tough on blades and they get expensive. I have spent many years figuring out what works and what doesn't.
I'm an extremely experienced shaver. I've been shaving since 12 years old. Over the year's I've become quite the shaving geek. I use all sorts of tricks to get the best shaves, save my skin, and save some $$$. I often shave with baking soda, which has been the best experience (ask me if you have questions about that.) I never use canned shaving cream. I often use my Phytomer Gentle Cleansing Milk to wash and shave. I only shave in the shower with steam and water running. I operate and develop spas, which has given me access to dozens of the highest quality shaving products, implements, and techniques and simplicity always seems to come out on top. A straight razor, boar's hair brush, and leather strop is without a doubt the best overall solution, but it is also time-consuming and not very practical if you travel a lot or rush to get ready each morning. In today's world, it disposables and expedience that seem to rule.
One thing's for certain, every guy's skin and hair is different, so what works for one doesn't always work for another. Razor blades, on the other hand, are all basically the same. Nearly all are made of steel, especially the disposable blades. Steel's number one enemy is oxidation, which causes corrosion and uneven surface, which is what we experience as a "dull" blade. A steel blade's number two enemy is grime. A clean, dry blade is a sharp, efficient blade. If a blade could be used, then cleaned, dried, and kept in a vacuum seal between uses, it could conceivably remain sharp for years.
I've used the "denim strop method" for years and it actually works better than this little unit, but it's not nearly as nice looking in the bathroom. I also used to store my blades inside a container of shaving oil, which adds amazing life to them (I'd get about six months per blade), but that oil gets expensive, is messy, and gets scummy after a bit. Basically too much effort/hassle.
In regard to the RazorPit product, I'd say its biggest benefits are:
1) It looks good and not out of place in your shower, in your medicine cabinet, or on your vanity. Much better than a random piece of denim or old leather.
2) It actually does clean, straighten and give your blades a little extra life
3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, convenience. It is easy to keep on hand. If this product causes you to develop good maintenance habits, then it is worth the purchase. If you clean, dry and hone your blades, they are going to last longer. It's as simple as that. You don't need this product to do this, but if this is the product that gets you to do it, then it's worth buying.
I paid $17 including shipping. I wouldn't pay more than $20 all in and in reality, it's probably only worth $10.
Bottom line, I'm happy with the purchase. It's convenient, well made, good looking, and effective enough to pay for itself. I'd buy it again for a few buck less than what I paid. I haven't had the amazing results/savings indicated or experienced by others, but I am saving enough for it to pay for itself by the end of the year.

When I went to look at a replacement from Amazon I was slightly puzzled to find that this pink version is less than half the price of the black one. Apart from obviously the colour change it's identical and works in exactly the same way and does a fine job of getting more shaves out of your blades.
So in conclusion if you aren't bothered about it being pink this is a great way to save yourself 6 or 7 pound on the price of a genuine Razorpit.
