They aren't designed to be sharpened. That's why they're disposable.

If you make the investment in an electric razor you will never have to purchase another straight razor again. Spend something like $60 on a half decent electric and you are good to go for life. Just keep it clean and it will do the same to you.
Otherwise there is no way to sharpen a disposable because they are disposable.

You would have to take the razor apart and take those narrow metal strips and sharpen then and then get them back into the razor.
I am pretty sure that if you tried to do that you would first find out that you would have to demolish the razor to get the blades out. Next, you would find that sharpening them would be a lot harder than you would think. Finally, since you demolished the razor, you will now find that you cannot put it back together.
This is not a good way to save money.
Also, don't fall for one of those pyramid energy devices that supposedly sharpens razors. They tested that on Mythbusters and it failed miserably. They even got an electron microscopic image of the razors and compare that to unused razors and you could see the used blades were still as dull as before the went inside the pyramid.
If you were brave enough, you could invest in a straight razor. I personally do not feel good holding a super sharp blade like that up to my throat after I have just woke up.
One other thing I thought of. I could get an extra use or two out of my razor if I cleaned it really good and made sure I got all of the residue out from between the blades. I used an old toothbrush for this. The bristles got between the blades and cleaned them up.

Just grow a beard! How much money will you really save by trying to sharpen a disposable razor? Find another way to cut back.

I was gonna mention that pyramid rip off device too. :p
Try buying single blade razers. To me I get much better and longer use out of a single blade razer than a double blade. Also much easier to rinse the stubble/bristles out of a single blader.
I shave once with a double blader.. and after like 2 stokes its full of hair which won't rinse/tap out. I can't understand how anyone can use them. Single blade all the way for me.

Grow a beard - that'll save money on razors altogether.

It is said that razors stay sharp if placed nightly in a pyramid. never tried it but it's worth a try maybe.
You can get plastic pyramids from novelty shops; some chocolates came in them a few years back.
