I've heard this as well, some say you should leave the razor for a day so that the edge realigns itself. If you leave the razor in your bathroom whilst realigning it will also clean your bathroom as well!!! Seriously I think it's a rouse to get us to buy more razors. Like we need any encouragement.

Yes it's true
but is 30 days
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it LOL

I doubt the razor will complain if you use it two or more days in a row. Your cheeks on the other hand, they may raise a bit of a ruckus...

I just read somewhere that you shouldn't use the same straight razor two days in a row ! Is this true ?

It's a good excuse to have more than one razor in your inventory if you ask me. The best thing to do is try it out for yourself. Use the same razor for a month, then switch between razors for a few months too. See if using it over and over has any effect on the quality of shave you get. Also, If your not honing your blades yourself, it might be a good idea to have 2 or 3 blades so that when one is away getting sharpened, you still have a sharp one to use.

Be warned though, once you start buying multiple razors, its hard to stop. Good old RAD will grab you and pull you in with its tractor beam.

Sounds like a developing case...

So i just have to say that SWMBO in my case is a psychologist. Therefore i can never even in passing admit to have RAD while she is around for 2 reasons. First she will think the wrong RAD and berate me for misuse of terminology. After that when i explain the RAD i mean she will develop a treatment plan for me that i am sure would be the horror of just about everyone here.
