I went out of my way to buy razors in shapes and sizes I didn't yet have, until I finally lucked into the one that is, for me, ergonomic and shaving perfection. Now that's the only thing I'll take a second look at. Don't yet have one by a Swedish maker, or an American maker, or a French maker. So that's how I've done it. Willy-nilly with a purpose, and now I've discovered my specific focus. Haven't bought a new blade for several months now. Got a strop, though, and a new razor box...
