Looking at the machine, I can figure out how it works generally though the mechanism details I'm not certain of. It appears to have a Valet self strop razor blade in place and I'm not sure if the machine will work on any razor blade or if it requires specific design blades. Last thing I wonder is how many razor blades could you buy for the price of this unit?
First up is a sharpener made by Ingersoll for Gillette blades though I think just about any double edged blade could be sharpened in this tool. To operate it,you slide the handle back and insert the blade and slide the handle forward;locking the blade in position.You then lay the tool down across a stone(or strop)and the tool provides the correct sharpening angle.You then slide the tool back and forth across the strop 'flipping it over to get both sides of the blade.
