Like Phrank, I use whatever razor catches my eye! Ditto on soaps and creams. Spent too much of my 60+ shaving years as something which must be done SWMBD and not enjoying the process. Now for the last few years I have fun doing it!
Do what feels right for you! We are all different individuals and need space to grow!

Sure, all razors in my collection are rotated..... except for the electric and several cart razor handles I accumulated before 2008 lol

Straights and DE's for me.

Jesh....he made me feel like a bumbaclot!!

I'd like to use just straights but when you have skin situations DE's and SE's sure come in handy. At least once a week a use a DE or SE just to give my face a 48 hour rest. The last few days though, skin flair ups have me using first my Schick injector and this morning my Gem SE. If needed, tomorrow will be my 3 piece Gillette DE. But I want my straights back in rotation soon, please!

Rosacea. Some call it old age acne, but it's not. And not all people are even prone to it. I have a mild case of it, but still bothersome when my face breaks out and makes straight razor shaving uncomfortable. I don't stretch skin wen I shave with a DE or SE so I'm left with a very fine stubble without really scraping skin. A day or two and I'm back to straights. No known cure for Rosacea and a lot of meds, creams, gels and folk remedies abound to treat it.
