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

If Obie's collection of 19 razors is modest, mine is downright prudish at about half that. I keep seven in rotation and use one a week. Since I keep my razors upstairs and the one I use downstairs in the only bathroom, it's too much to remember to bring one down every day.

I keep a spreadsheet of when last used and last touched up. I grab the razor with oldest used date. Used to keep track of which hone I used as well, but nothing compares to my recently purchased J-Nat, so I use no other hone now.

I am now going to try the one per week method. Sounds fascinating.

Oh yeah: only 6 straights. Fil #13 & #14 DT, T. Hessen, DD Wonderedge, Wusthof, Jaguar. I've been thru many more than that, but this current stable with my current hone have placated my ADs for now

Regards

I confess that I must be completely obsessive-compusive... I have a couple of these six-slot pen cases for my razors. I pick six of my favorites for rotation and store the rest. I use them in order each day so that on day seven I am back to razor #1. That way, I don't have a "Monday razor", "Tuesday razor", etc. Occasionally, I will swap in a razor if I make an acquisition.
