Angraves Rotary Shaver Sharpener

My husband asked me to order him a new razor. He has had this one for maybe 3 or 4 years, but it looks as good as new. I suggested he get the blades sharpened- which of course was left to me to find a sharper!! The result was this little gadget which we were both thought was probably a waste of a fiver but worth a try. It really works, he now has a good as new razor !!! Excellent!!!

Purchased to sharpen Philips Aqua Touch Wet & Dry AT899 and there was little discernible difference after sharpening - cleaning the blades had as much effect. The problem appears to be the rubber sleeves over the rotating spindles which means that the diameter of the whole is too big for the hole in the guard of the sharpener. However, the idea appears to be sound so I propose to enlarge the hole with emery paper to see what happens. I imagine this will invalidate any guarantee but the thing is cheap enough to give it a go. You may yet see a further edited review depending upon how keen I am to tackle the job. Emery paper did not work but an inherited modellers rotary file did the job and the sharpener now works the result was noticeable but not amazing but would now increase score from three to four stars

It seems to sharpen the blades but is such a pain to use, as i am old and my fingers are not that dexterous so i found it very awkward to use.

When it arrived I thought it was faulty because I was expecting at least part to be abrasive. It isn't. You run your finger across the surface and it seems smooth. But by golly does it work well. Just ten seconds for each blade and they are like new. I found it very easy to use on my Philips and the blades are still cutting well after a few months. Fantastic value and the company was very good in dealing with my queries about the product. Top marks.

Not brilliant

I wasted my money. The concept of retaining the blade in a cylinder to deliver an even pressure for sharpening doesn't really work as it is such a low grade plastic. I have now found it better, cheaper and more effective to use a sheet of wet and dry sanding paper1500 grade. And certainly simpler too. I'm sorry I wasted my time and was so gullible to the reviews that said it would work.

great product

It dose the job
