Thread: Is using the same straight razor everyday a no-no?

I use the same razor every day. No problems. I have several others for variety, and because of a very mild case of RAD.

As long as the razor is properly honed to begin, and then properly stropped before each shave, it can be used every day.

As I see it the only problem with using the same razor every day is that the edge will not last as long as it would if you were using it once a week, or once a month, depending on the degree of RAD.

It will last an equal amount of shaves.
