    So far with the Henckel 14 I've only used it 2 times and the 17 I've used it maybe 3. I really don't have a set rotation I try not to use the same razor in a week. now I only shave 2 maybe 3 times a week so even with my small collection it is a month or more before I get back to the same blade. I do like the 14 but as you stated the 17 handles quite well. I have been using straights exclusively since sometime in 2013 so I'm not as far into it as some. I still like trying deferent razors.

    Cannot get past a different blade every shave, but I can see what you are speaking of. Some, I want to try again next shave.
    Sometimes, I do!

    Finding a blade that worked well for me an sticking with it for a few months was one of my biggest break through s in learning to shave with straights. Once I stopped jumping from one to another I improved big time.

    I also shave every other day usually. And tend to just pick one out of the rack. Variety being such a nice spice. If the edge isn't where it's supposed to be it goes in the hone que and I choose another.

    Only on vacation do I tend to use the same blade more than once in a week. But then again, on vacation shaving sometimes takes a hiatus.
