If it weren't for that sage advice, I'd probably be the proud owner of a "Silvertip" brush. I'm glad I sought help, and thanks to everyone's input. I might not be following your advice to the letter, but trust me, it's sunk in.

Also, I just signed up for the give-away today. Fingers crossed but I'm not going to put any weight on it, when the 15th comes, I still need to shave.

So a question: Aside from putting long term wear on a single blade, what's the benefit of having a rotation? Do I need to focus on having 7 razors?

I plan on getting a few different sizes and shapes, but if I find one that stands above the rest, is there any reason not to put the rest up on the classifieds?
