Though it looks like there are several thoughts and opinions on the matter, these thoughts at least help me make up my own mind for my situation. Currently I have one razor and can get away with every other day shaving. So, I will keep doing what I am doing, and remember "let the fin rest" excuse to tell the wife, when I want to try a new straight.

I have another question though, how do you strop with your thumb? If done wrong, it would be very painful!!! Anyone have a youtube post on the matter?


Thanks for the info everyone!
