Grouping Razors In Rotation

[Obie]

Gentlemen,

After experimenting, I have selected to group my razors in the rotation according to blade size or, in some cases, blade size and weight.

What brought this about was shaving with two completely different size and weight razors in succession. After going from the big and heavy to the small and light, I managed to nick myself once or twice. I rarely nick myself. Not because I am the straight razor shaver's answer to Hercules, but because I use exceptional care shaving.

My solution was to group them together to eliminate excessive contrast in razors. That would temper the measure of adjustment I would have to make going from one size and weight razor to another.

As an example, I have parked my razor in the rack this way:

1. Thiers-Issard 5/8" with snake wood scales, round point (light).
2. Dovo "Bergisher Lowe" 5/8" with bone scales, Spanish point (heavier).
3. Thiers-Issard 6/8"-7/8" Spartacus with bone scales, "Dreadnought" point (vavavamoom!).

1. Dovo 5/8" with Perlex scales, round point (light).
2. Thiers-Issard 5/8" with king wood scales, round point (heavier)
3. Filarmonic 13 Doble Temple 6/8" with plastic scales, square point (oy, mama!)

1. Boker 5/8" "King Cutter" with plastic scales, French point (heavy).
2. Trusteel 5/8" with mock ebony scales, round point (heavier).
3. Wacker 6/8" "Antik" with bone scales, Spanish point (hallelujah!)

And so on with the rest of the razors.

The rotation seems to work for me. Any thoughts on the subject, gentlemen?

Regards,

Obie
