I still have yet to ask what caused this atrocity. Roommate who (I'm assuming) busted it is traveling right now. :whipped:

rotation is good as you get to compare how different razors shave over a series of shaves,when it became time to upgrade my twenty year old 1/4 hollow i found there is now easy access to an unbelievable amount of different razors,so over several months i've bought several razors of different grinds,size and makers,some i paid a bit for but most were cheaper and need a clean up but it as enabled me to find what grind and size suits me best,i've sold of a few and will be selling more and i will most likely see one that appeals to me and need to test it as it's turned out to be someting i'm really enjoying,several of my rotation could do with a spit and polish so having a few will help there but my aim is to find seven razors of different grinds that i really like to make a set a little different
I tend to rotate my razors in two different ways.
First, the standard one. I'll grab whatever feels right on that special occasion. This means I switch razors every day, out of a pool of shave ready razors.
The second type of rotation is when I need to hone a razor, I will usually stay with that razor untill I have dialed in the edge perfectly. This can take just one honing, but usually I will keep working that edge a few days in a row, just to really get it as good as I can possibly do

you absolutely need 365 & 1/4 razors one for every day of the year...so far I'm up to 6 & 3/4 good ones and 2 I'm restoreing which means I only have to buy 356 & 1/2 more...if you're wondering how I got a 3/4 razor I had to very very slowly grind off the heel of an ebay razor due to a crack I didn't see. its also very interesting shaving with a razor with a square point on both ends.
I think around the time I acquired 4 razors I thought perhaps a seven day set of various makes/models would be enough. Then that seven day set became a 10 day set, then a 12 day set, then a......
Its really fun to have a variety and have choice.
I had up to 38 razors but I'm down to 12 now not including the one still for sale.
I found that having too much choice detracted from the fun for me so I built sold off everything and am left with a rotation that I'm really happy with.
17 I'm up to and I use whatever's sharp and ready, right now 7 of them, hoping to cut the collection down to 5 eventually.
still purchasing as I haven't tried all makes and types, right now I'm looking for a Braber's notch 7/8 or 8/8 Wade and Butcher maybe.
Damn ebay for being so cheap! I've still to try a Henckels, Dubl Duck, Wade and Butcher, Thiers Issard, and alot of others which I have still to try, them I'll get rid of the razors which I dont bond with or that can't hold an edge.
