Thread: 5 blades are better than one

OK, now that I got the attention of all the Fusion users ………

I’m curious: what’s the maximum number of razors you’re shaved with in one session?

I honed a number of razors this weekend and found myself on Sunday morning actually shaving with five different razors in an attempt to shave test a group of them. I had fun trying out all the different makes and models, but I did find it a bit odd (and excessive) to be shaving with five razors at one time.

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy person who’s tried this.

I do the same if I've honed a whole bunch that are due to go back to their owners. Otherwise they are there for ages before they get tested and mailed..!

I've probably shaved with 5 or 6 in one shave, just one pass with each. After that I start running out of face.

That's the only problem with honing for other people. You get to shave with every razor out there except your own..!

Well, uhhhmmm. You did ask nicely. So, I'll plead the fifth on this one. :-)

I think during one marathon honing session I wound up test shaving with 4 razors.

three for me once, honed and tested two wasn't happy with them and finished with my usual straight razor.

One. If it isn't right I stick with it and go down with the ship. I may not hone well, but I'm loyal to my work.

5-6 sounds about right. I once tried more than that, but it wasn't worth the effort. I actually started cramping from stropping.
