**Keeping Your Razor Blades Clean and Sharp**
Maintaining your razor blades is essential to ensure a smooth shaving experience. A clogged blade can lead to nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs. To keep your razor blades clean and in good condition, try using the "razor pit" method. This involves rinsing the blade under running water, followed by rubbing it backwards on a towel to remove any remaining hair and debris. By doing so, you'll be able to see the blade is cleaner and less clogged than before.
In addition to the razor pit method, another effective way to clean your razor blades is to use a small packet that comes with the "blue apple" gadget. The blue apple is made of plastic and sucks up ethylene gas, which causes produce to over-ripen and spoil. Simply open the blue apple inside a small bag containing your fruit or vegetable, seal it, and let it sit for a week. This should keep your food fresh longer and reduce odors. However, our test revealed that this gadget doesn't appear to save us any money.
**Drying Your Razor Blades**
To prevent bacterial growth and extend the life of your razor blades, always dry them after use. If you don't have a towel handy, using a "razor pit" can be an alternative solution. The device creates a small vacuum that removes water from the blade, leaving it dry and clean.
**Gadget Test Results**
In our test, we put several gadgets to the test to see if they can save us money on everyday expenses. First up was the "blue apple," which claims to keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer by sucking up ethylene gas. While this gadget showed promise in theory, our real-time test revealed that it didn't appear to work as expected. Despite sealing the bag and reducing ethylene gas, our bananas and apples still looked similar to those stored without the blue apple.
Next, we tested the "eye touchless handheld bag sealer." This gadget promises to keep snacks fresh by sealing air out of packaging bags. However, upon closer examination, we found that it didn't seal the bag completely, leaving small openings that would allow air in and make the chips stale. We also found that using this gadget required a bit of hassle, as you had to hold the bag closed while sliding the device across the opening.
**The Verdict**
While some gadgets did show promise, others failed to deliver on their promises. Our test results suggest that the "blue apple" and "eye touchless handheld bag sealer" may not be worth the money. However, if you're looking for ways to keep your razor blades clean and sharp, try using the "razor pit" method or drying them with a towel after use.
**Conclusion**
Testing gadgets can be a fun and exciting way to discover new products that claim to save us money on everyday expenses. While some gadgets work as promised, others may not live up to expectations. By doing your research and testing these gadgets yourself, you'll be better equipped to make informed decisions about which ones are worth your hard-earned cash.

get that last little bit money saver well we'll see about that flipping open the box reveals a little net pouch that contains some plastic pieces they look like tops and some small rings that appear

two sets of three different adapters that'll fit most bottles in this case the 33 millimeter red adapter fit the bill so I remove the appropriate size gasket and inserted it inside the purple cap that should prevent any GUI slippage then I screwed in the red adapter and screw the whole assembly on top of my mustard bottle just hand tight and flipped it over my salad dressing bottle was a little bit easier because the standard 38 millimeter purple cap fit the threads on that so again taking a gasket and putting it inside the cap and hand tightening on top of my salad dressing bottle and doing the flip I always want to get the last drop of barbecue sauce so the adapter that fit that one was the same red one that fit on the mustard same process with the gasket hand tight and flip it over and let gravity do its work you can see here in high speed that the barbecue sauce is making its way down to the cap then I'll let all those bottles sit for about an hour to see what kind of flow we're getting now ah yes no more anticipation the contents of my bottles are ready to go and flow smoothly and when you're done just push the flip it down on a flat surface and that'll shut the cap after you've completely extinguished your bottle the caps wash clean and are also dishwasher safe and I like the fact that everything goes back into the little net bag so it's not all flying around inside your drawers one consideration for flip it is when you put the tops on the bottles they may not fit on the shelves that you've already had set up because the bottles are too tall I found this to

blades are expensive they're crazy pricey for what they are so if we can save money on razor blades that would be awesome that's where our next gadget comes in it's simply called razor Pip and claims to give you up to a hundred and fifty shaves with one razor blade the main problem with razors especially the multi blade kind is that particles of hair and dense skin cells clog up in between those blades which makes the blades feel dull and certainly affects the performance so let's open up the box and pull out what's inside which is the razor pit housed in a little plastic holder and it appears to be a black base that's just kind of rubbery to the feel the directions inform you to either take hand soap or shaving cream and rub it along the surface of the razor pit and then to take your clogged up razor blade and scrape it along the razor pit in the opposite direction that you shave about four or five times okay so a visual inspection of this razor blade appears to be cleaner and way less clogged than it was before but not perfectly clean so let me try another razor blade with my method and that's basically doing the same thing rubbing it backwards but this time just on a towel and you can see getting about the same results so one more step rinsing the blade out doing a few taps on the sink and then taking a look and sure enough that has completely cleaned the blade of all that in between additional testing revealed that if I use the razor pit and then rinsed the blade it came out perfect one more additional tip to keep your razor blades clean and that is to always dry them after use so if you don't want to mess up a towel to clean your razor blades then the razor pit might fit the bill for you it definitely cleaned the blade and I would imagine over a period of time that is going to save you from replacing your blade so the razor pin did what it said it would do and I consider it a money-saving gadget it gets a thumbs up keeping fruit and veggies from going bad always seems to be a constant struggle so our next gadget claims to eliminate that horror it's called blue apple and it keeps fruits and vegetables fresher longer and reduces odors I guess the big problem with fruits and veggies is ethylene gas which causes produce to over ripen and this thing is supposed to suck up all that gas opening up to packaging gives us two blue blue apples are made out of plastic and if you pop them open inside as a small packet which is what actually reduces the ethylene gas so let's test out this blue apple and see how it works I'm gonna start off with a couple of bananas and a couple of apples I'm gonna put them in a paper bag to increase the ripening time so I'll put a banana in each bag I'll put an apple in each bag and then I'll put the blue apple in the second bag I'll just kind of seal up the bags and let them sit and just for additional testing I'm gonna do the same thing only this time in my refrigerator an apple and a banana in one of my fruit bins and the same thing in the other bin and then I'll add the blue apple to that I decided to let them sit for a week and now the big reveal pulling out the banana and the Apple from the untreated bag shows a normal wear and tear and age on the banana Apple's looking pretty good so let's take a look at the other bag and again banana and apple and the blue apple inside is supposed to keep it from the ethylene gas but I tell you what this banana looks exactly like the other banana same squishiness and looks about as bee now let's go to the fridge and see the results there well we've got the same thing the banana and apple in the untreated bin look about normal after a week and so do the apple and banana from the bin that's supposedly been protected by blue apple it doesn't appear that blue apples gonna save us any money based on this real-time test so blue Apple gets us stinker and while we're talking about freshness and everybody likes chips and snacks but nobody likes stale chips and snacks so the eye touchless handheld bag sealer is supposed to save us money on stale snacks let's put it to the test gripping the bag sealer out of a packaging reveals what looks like a stapler and I think it works on the same basic principle but it's supposed to keep the air out of your snack bag so this thing takes two double-a batteries which we will install and then put the cover back on and let's get our test bag out and give this thing a try and you're supposed to hold it together for a couple of seconds to warm up the little heating element and then slowly slide it across the bag as you hold the bag closed the bag sealer did seal the bag enough to keep the chips from falling out when held upside down but upon closer examination it did leave some little openings now that's gonna put air in the bag and it's gonna make your chips stale so I don't know the inconvenience of having to use this every time nothing beats the old chip clip and if you're anything like me I eat chips faster than they can get stale so combining the hassle of having to use this every time you eat chips along with the fact that it doesn't really seal the bag completely I'm sorry but the eye touchless handheld bag sealer gets a big fat stinker so out of all these as seen on TV gadgets that claim to save you money some did and some didn't I hope you enjoyed this gadget test video and if
