Thread: Building a rotation

I would never like a set rotation of any of my shaving products, and enjoy whatever feels right at the moment. To save time in the morning, I generally pick out and strop a razor, and pick out a soap and a brush the night before. I don't have a clue as to how I choose these items, only I seem to be attracted toward some products and away from others. I rarely use the same products more than one day in a row, although I'll occasionally get a fantastic shave from a particular razor and decide to use it again the following day.

I do sort of separate the razors that seem easier to use (e.g. a 5/8 Puma) from those that require a great deal of concentration (MK 32). I often haven't gotten enough sleep on Monday mornings, and will pick an "easy" razor, one that I could almost shave with blindfolded. When I have the luxury of spending as much time as I like on a shave, I'll generally pick an 8/8 hollow ground razor, one that I shouldn't attempt to use while half asleep. I often pick soaps and scents based on who I might be with that day, such as those I know my wife likes, and perhaps more masculine scented soaps if having lunch with a friend. I don't like rotations and just try to have fun shaving each morning.
