Don't step over a dollar to pick up a penny. At least buy new heads
every other time - it might work once, but not forever.

Please define "every other time", Bruce.

The first time it gets dull, use your sharpening trick. The second
time, replace the heads. Third, sharpen, Fourth replace.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat. (Once.)

Or you can go Sharpen, Sharpen, Sharpen, Sharpen, Sharpen... GRUNCH!
as the cage/comb part wears through and jams the cutter head and the
plastic drive gears strip.

Then instead of buying a $10 set of heads you are buying a $100
razor. And that's what I mean about "Stepping over a dollar to pick
up a penny" - it may have sounded like a good idea at the time, but
it's false economy.
