While I can adapt to just about any razor, there are a few that just "work" better for me. In fact, I'm down to a single DE razor, but not because it's the "best", but because I can use it with just about any blade I have, and without much effort on my part, to get a decent shave.

My straights are similar... some fit me to a T and require little thinking on my part, others require careful attention to achieve the same result.

So, I tend to choose items that work for me, with little effort. It's not that the other ones are bad, in fact I'm sure THEY fit someone ELSE to a T, but for me... there's a fit that I find comfortable and so I tend to gravitate to them, over the others. My personal problem is that my eyes like one style (Spanish point, barbers notched round point and 7/8" or larger) but my hand prefers a 4/8" to 6/8", square point (neutered), and a Spanish point comes second.

I don't know if it's just that we learned to use one type first, or if it's more ingrained than that, but there IS something that makes those mid size square points shave so sweet for me.
