I'm an aging newbie and now have a handful of razors. It seems to me, that on any given morning, the character of a familiar blade "rubs" me the wrong way (even one that felt great at last use). Maybe it feels sharp and raw....in need of more stropping, or it tugs, etc. Sometimes the reason is inexplicable. Maybe I just prefer a different feeling blade. Because of this, I always have a second razor at hand. I rarely resort to abandoning the one I started with in lieu of the spare...but I still do this as a precaution.

Anyone else do this? Is your shave preference as fickle as mine? Should I make an appointment with the psychiatrist? I do however, love the differnces each blade brings to the task.

Best to all.
