    No I just look at them lined up and pick one , it usually gets used for a week or so , cleaned up and put up till I decide to use it again, sometimes I get get hung up on one blade for a month or more, I guess that's why I never need to hone very much cause if I used one every day for a year , it wouldn't need more than a refresh.

    I have a 2 part answer to this one:
    When I am away for work (2 out of 3 weeks) I shave almost every day with one straight, occasionally using a safety razor. I only keep one razor at work.
    On my week at home I shave 3-5 times and either use one of my two other straights or (rarely) a safety razor, shavette or (aalmost never) my schick quattro (until the cartridges I have run out). I try to use the same straight for the whole week at home and change them from break to break as the mood takes me.

    Use one until it needs to hit the hone.
    Switch the next until it needs honing.
    I do this working my way through my collection.
    My collection of fifteen isn't about quantity, but what I persve as quality.
    If I don't like a shave a razor gives it goes bye bye, unless it's worth something or rare.
    It's a dog eat dog world and I have on milk bone underwear.

    I pick whichever razor suits me at that moment, same with soap, brush, and aftershave, one of the main attractions for me is change and choice....
