For many years when I had my landscaping company I sharpened my mower blades every week using an angle grinder and putting the blades in a vice. You figure out pretty quickly what angle you need to sharpen them to. After that I used a small bench grinder and fashioned a guide that slide along a small steel tube, made sharpening much more even and easier.
By the way, sharpening is better for the grass, when blades dull they rip grass rather than cutting it which makes them susceptible to disease. For a homeowner if you start the season with sharp blades you should only have to sharpen them once assuming you don't hit anything.
