Thread: How do you keep track?

I don't let it go longer than a Sunday. If I pick up the DE "today" and haven't replaced the blade yet this week, I replace it.

In my case I use a straight most all the time. Anymore, if I pick up the DE, seldom would it be twice or three times in a week. In my imagination's eye, I see that blade rusting away sitting there.

Gentlemen:

I have two double edge razors left in my stock, and both are part of the regular rotation with my straights — every seventh shave goes to the double edge. I shave with the same razor three times and then change the blade.

The razors sit in a converted smoking pipe rack. After each three shaves, the razors are switched around in the rack so that I know which razor is next in line. Also, I try to make my mind remember how many times I have used the same blade. Keep using the mind is what I say.

Regards,
Obie
