    A rotation can be good for determining what type of razor you enjoy using most...width, grind, etc. Variety is also a good reason, though certainly a luxury. But if you have a number of razors, brushes, etc, you may as well use them. Same with anything else, but I see soaps differently, since they offer something to others that razors and brushes don't...a variety of scents. You know that person who clearly loves their cologne/perfume but you can't stand? If you're that guy for someone, having a scent rotation exposes folks to that frustration on a less frequent basis. Plus, your nose becomes a costumed to a scent if you wear it all the time; having a rotation allows you to enjoy the scent you're wearing all the time.

    For me it pushes back the amount of time I need to hone razors. Also, I guess I'm just in the mood for different razors sometimes. I even throw a DE razor into my mix sometimes. Just personal preference, but I will say that using just one razor and one razor only, means more touchups and honing it more often.

    So there were these two bulls looking down into the valley, at a herd of cows, and the young once says to the older one. “Hey, let’s run down there…

    If you want to use the same, single, solitary, lonely razor day after day, then so be it. However, variety is the spice of life. Get a second if you find you don't like changing blades, then sell one and go back to the one. It's good to have choice and what harm can it do... which is why I had two wives... But the judge wasn't impressed!!

    It seems like the concensus is "I could probably make due with", but if I really want to enjoy the experience, then "more is better".

    I now have 7 blades. See below. I love the variety in styles. One thing not yet mentioned that I've read is: having more than one allows the blade to rest between uses.
