Thread: Daily rotation, or weekly?

If I did a weekly rotation by the time I got through them all I wouldn't remember what I had.

I keep ten razors in my daily rotation, and change them with other razors from my collection about every six months. I don't shave every day so I really can't call it a "daily rotation", more like a "every other day rotation".

I don't shave daily, either, but when I do, I tend to choose razors that happen to be a favorite at that time. I've got about 25 straights, and not all of them are shaving sharp, so that switching from one to the next is possible. So basically, I'll usually have one or two really sharp razors that I'll favor for weeks at a time. When they eventually don't perform as well, I usually sharpen another and shift to it.

I have way too much of everything to NOT rotate daily!

Except I could use a few more brushes and razors

I rotate daily. The thing is that I don't always use a straight razor. I have plenty of others so I'l have a Straight razor week where I use a different straight razor each day of the week. I also have DE weeks, Gem razor and Injector razor weeks. Obviously I usually just post here on straight razor weeks. I may soon switch to a weekly rotation since everytime I pick up a different razor, I have to learn the dynamics of each one. May be better to get to relearn a razor and get comfortable with it again.

Daily rotation without a doubt on everything!!!!!

I rotate on my whim. I have 5 razors that are shave ready and I am working on more.

Same with shave creams and A/S's.

This is one of the great things that I love about shaving with a str8.

It's morning, very early morning. Coffee hasn't been had yet. The eyes focus only somewhat. The floor is cold and I've forgotten where I parked my slippers, and I should keep track of rotations? We've got soaps by the cup, creams by the tub, creams by the tube, brushes hanging, brushes sitting, scuttles, bowls, mugs, razors in the glass, razors in the drawer, razors on the shelf, strops on the hooks, and I'm supposed to keep track of rotation? Good Lord, my head is what's rotating.

Nope, no rotations for me. Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Mo are my best friends and allies for the mornings ablutions and solutions. I could be that a razor gets used for a month, I dunno; Eeny seems to be getting forgetful too.

i have 5 razors. only 2 shave well right now. i use them for a few days at a time untill i feel like switching. no rhyme or reason to it
