    Smile the greatest shaver

    Have you noticed the last razor you used is the "greatest shaver yet", forgetting you have a drawer full of great shavers. We all are looking for that illusive greatest shaver. At one time I said the same thing about a Wapi. Now is dusty, forgetten and neglected, I don't even know where it is. A new great shaver is in the mail waiting to be bragged about as soon as I shave with it. All razors are capable of being greatest shavers, one, you need to know how to use them and two, if they are sharp enough, they will shave anything, even a tomato. Brag all you want and keep gathering razors, shave the tomato if you want, is not going to hurt anything. Juan.

    This is what rotations are all about. I am currently aiming for a 365 day rotation. I figure that may just be enough. Leap years will throw that out though. **** it, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

    Hah! I just thought my shaves were getting better with each razor because I was developing my new technique. How stupid of me!

    Now, what's next? More razors of course.

    Actually you have to beware too many razors because when you only have a few you are very familiar with all their characteristics and the way they shave. When you have too many each time you go through your rotation its like learning to use them all over again each time you use them. Thats why I keep my total to about 100, har-har.

    You do have a point about getting to know your razors. I used to have 8 razors until I sold 5 of them. I find 3 is a great number of razors to have, as I have a couple of backup ones if anything were to happen. But it's few enough that I am quite familiar with how they each perform.

    But I have noticed that the better you get a shaving the more likely your most recent razor will be your favourite shaver.

    If I were to rate my razors on their shave, then other factors like how much they meant to me would heavily influence my rank.

    My Wilkinson would probably be at the top, because it means the most to me, the others technically shave just as well but that's not always the point.

    It never ceases to amaze me how different people use public forums in their very personal ways. Funnily enough, and on a tangential note only, bragging is the last thing I would want to do on SRP. Not least because I know there are too many people around who would go C|N>K if I did. But, as they say, suum cuique.
