Thread: Do all razors shave differently?

For about the first year of shaving, it'd take me a handful of attempts with a razor before I felt comfortable with it. At some point along the way, it got easier. I no longer think too much about which razor I'm using, unless something doesn't feel right. In which case, I've developed enough fine motor control to adjust on the fly. You'll get there. But I'd suggest sticking with one razor for at least a month at a time, just to really grind in the lesson.

New shavers find the differences, experienced shavers note the similarities. That is just the way things develop and are a natural part of the learning process.

A new shaver will adjust their technique to the differences they observe, often necessitating doing completely new things - this is a good thing as it develops your range of experience. Eventually your technique will have developed such a range that you cease to notice the differences and begin to appreciate the similarities, or constants, that all blades share.

So the short answer is all blades shave differently until you get enough experience to realise that all blades shave the same

I am in the camp that says all razors do feel different to varying degrees. There are many reasons for this. Some because of differences in the razors and some indirect because of the way you use different razors meaning sizes and grinds and shapes and balance and weight.

I have the original TI SRP razor and had bought 2. I had consecutively numbered razors and they shaved very differently.
