It's quite simple to sharpen your own razors or shaving blades, I've been doing it for years.

    Even rubbing against a pair of jeans will sharpen them again. https://imustacheyoutoshave.com/sharpening-a-razor-with-your-jeans/ https://imustacheyoutoshave.com/sharpening-a-razor-with-your...

      I tried this and had very little success. I just switched to a double edge safety razor and never looked back.

    nice leather strop?

      Stropping is not sharpening. Stropping is just bending the edge back into shape when it rolls onto itself. Sharpening involves removing material which is necessary when you have chipping like mentioned in the article.

        Stropping is sharpening. A clean strop (without added abrasive) not only straightens the edge, but also burnishes it and removes material by abrasion. Here are some electron microscope images showing the effects. https://scienceofsharp.com/2014/08/13/what-does-stropping-do/ https://scienceofsharp.com/2014/08/13/what-does-stropping-do...

  Sure, but you're a user, not a manufacturer. ;-)
