Definitely go with the razor system works awsome. Shaving sharp just replicate the video and you will have no problems.

I've been intrigued by these heads since I first saw them. Resharpening is what's kept me from buying any. Just look like it'd be complicated. I may try some eventually though.

I have tried all of these gadgets with no success. Finally I bought a small nicolson triangle file.I black out the cutting edge with a sharpe so i can see where i'm filing. I like to lengthen the angle of the edge. Work in to the edge until all the black is gone them flip and go again,and finish with a 600 grit semi round diamond sharpener. When i'm finished they blow through both Hog and Deer.No need to wast time and money on fancy gadgets..

This might sound a bit basic, but I screw one on a small length of broken arrow, and sharpen like I do my knives, with an EZ-Lap diamond sharpener.  They get pretty sharp for me that way.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

I just ordered yesterday Simmons Safaris, razors edge guide and a three sided Hewlett jewel stick. Been wanting to try the Simmons broadheads, so Im going to do it right. Ive watched that you tube video of the guy sharpening the heads on a jewel stick. Cant wait to give it a try..

Razor Sharp Edgemaking System. I customized my wheels by slightly rounding the cutting and honing edges of the sharpening wheels. I also resurfaced the cutting wheel with rock polishing grit. I use a short piece(4-5 inches) or arrow shaft to hold it and in 15 seconds I have an INCREDIBLE shaving sharp broadhead. My knives are the same way. After that just hone them on the honing wheel. Been doing this for a few years now.

I use the work sharp knife sharpener. Yeah the one you see on tv, it really works on knives or broad heads. I sharpen my Simmons with it and they are razor sharp. I cut my finger to the bone with one after I sharpened it when I was tuning. They are like 80 or 90 bucks but it was money well spent.

Wheelie for me. I never had a problem getting them to shave and they hold an edge very well.

This simple and inexpensive ($5-$6) tool will give you a great edge very quickly. A crock stick to finish and you are good to go.
