I don't think resting the edge makes any difference. These blades are made to used everyday as long as they are cared for. I had one razor for quite a while and I used it everyday and I never had any issues. The advantage for multiple razors is the joy of having different razors to choose and shave from, you don't have to touch up the edge as often, and you have some bragging rights of having several razors.

I don't do this. And it's mainly because I don't understand the concept of "resting" steal. I am not a scientist or claim to know the inherint properties of steal so please don't take this the wrong way but......do people really think steal "reforms" without an outside force? I understand how shaving affects the edge but without some outside force the steal will remain as it last was correct???

So how did some user find/think "resting" the edge will do any good?
