Pinkoos,
That method isn't going to sharpen the blades. Rather, it will remove excess crud that gets on the blade as a result of shaving and probably to a very limited degree realigns the grains of the metal. I can see trying it with expensive cartridges but definitely not worth the effort on dirt cheap plain ol' DE blades.

Interesting. Regardless, I can confirm that the trick does work very very well.
Incidentally, I just started using Gillette's new Flex Ball razor:

It definitely improves the experience and the outcome of shaving.
