Prepare for the OCD side to come out...

I use feather blades mostly, which are labeled with a feather emblem near one edge and "hi-stainless" near the opposing edge. I will begin a shave with the "hi-stainless" side and do any major beard hacking, WTG and XTG passes. Then for a final ATG pass I switch and use only the emblem side. The idea is to keep my finishing tool as sharp as possible for every shave.

Probably an idea I picked up from working as a precision machinist. Does it make a difference? I dunno really, but I like to think so [emoji12]
