OK, here's my experience with multi-blade sets.

Early on in my straight razor life I was fascinated with multi-blade sets. Absolutely fascinated. Loved them, loved the idea of them, subsequently bought a few.

You know where those sets are now? Oiled up in a storage box. Last time I used one was quite some time ago now.

Now this could just be me, I have a notoriously short attention span. But that's been my experience. They seem like a great idea, but the shine wears off (for me at least) quite quickly.

Plus they usually end up quite expensive on a per razor basis for some reason.
