Thread: Is There A Method To Your Rotation?

I agree that "Informal Rotation" is best, I too am in it for the pleasure, not the rules.

Mine is pretty simple..I only have two that are shave ready so I basically trade them off on my shaving days..I have a third that I got off the bay and it needs honing but I found some rust as well and until I can come up with the money for a honing and cleaning (hopefully no more than that) I will have three to choose from.
I have not collected razors because of money..but at the same time I will probably only buy ones that I will use..I can understand collecting and all but it is a bit expensive and living in an apartment with a wife and two kids...there is no me space really so I have no place to put them.

You have my sympathy if you have no space. One thing I like about razors is that they are small and a drawer can old quite a collection. My problem is my grandson who is getting to the investigating stage. I can't leave them laying around anywhere. I have to re childproof my house! I lead a good life if that is my complaint for the night!

Back on topic. I have gone away from any rotation because there are so many aspects to using a straight that are part of the experience. Changing anything more than one thing a day gives you no usable feedback.

I hear you on the drawer idea..I want to take this hobby and art as far as I can so until I have the space it will just have to be a kindle instead of a fire...

I just look at the 35 razors that are ready to go ...all diff grinds,sizes,sheffields,German,French...and pick one for the day. I give them all a ride and forget how good some of them are !!!
