As I pull back from the fever in my mind I can see that this is ALL about the journey! There will NEVER be enough blades under my care - so that must mean it's the "getting and restoring/honing" them all that matters. The shaves just "happen" every day or two and I have a great selection of tools to get that done. Of course it doesn't hurt that I have plenty of razors to choose from when my preference in blade grinds change. Used to love big hollow grinds but now I'm "off" them for a bit and am really liking 5/8 to 6/8 half hollows for some reason. ..and as I write this I just realized that the guy that has my ebay login has 16 current bids going for auctions on my behalf - I should probably report him but I always just sit back and smile when a nice batch arrives. ...uh, wait, make that 17 auctions....
Joan when I get new blades in I normally put them in the "recent arrivals" box until I can look very closely at them and decide what needs to be done to each and then move them to where they belong. Sometimes - and I mean "sometimes" - one arrives that I only need to clean, disinfect, polish on the finishing stone, strop, and use. They're the special ones!
