Thread: Rotation! What? When? Where? Why?how?

Go with your "Facial Instinct"...

No rhyme or reason. Every time I set up a rotation scheme I always change it after a time.

I reckon I must have ADD as I rarely shave with the same razor 2 days in a row. As new razors come in the post, they either get used pretty quickly and then go in the rotation selection or if they need honing, they go in the honing pile until I get around to them.

Ditto. It just kind of happens. I try not to use a razor again until I've used all my others first, unless I'm specifically limiting myself to one razor to learn the curves.

That's black and white for me! I have a black one and a white one and I just use the one that I didn't use the day before. If I forget which one I used the day before then that's a black day for me!

for me, it depends on which day of the week it is....On Sunday, I will pul out my most trusted and sharp..Froe there it goes downhill to ones that I am workingi into the rotation to test their worthyness...

Only three for me. Either Bengall 6/8 round or square point or if I feel like I need a change I go the old W&B chopper.
In the past I used to go through a rotation of about 10 and then add in a few others for good measure but I started feeling it was too extravagant.

I confess, I am a minimalist shaver.

I tend to do exactly the same thing, although I sent off 2 razors last week for honing, I have tried 1 since getting them back

3/4s of my razors are ready for use and used in no special order. the others are just waiting for me to get off my ass and hone or restore them. still having fun rules just get in the way. enjoy.
