Oh - if they knew my insanities they would question it long before they hit that point

You guys are too much...LMAO!
Strangely enough, I was just considering the best way to come up with a rotation. I have 18 razors now and don't want anyone being left out...(kinda strange, like they have feelings or something)

Shhhh, don't let them hear you doubt their feelings. You'll upset them!

Intelligent Razor Rotation? I have enough trouble trying to shave with each razor once a year! If I were to try and put some intelligence behind the rotation I would never get to shave with any of them or I would need a Dewey Decimal system for cataloging and storing the razors so it is easy to find a particular one. Then I would need to track when each was last used and ... My head hurts already. Be sure to have fun with your rotation.

There is a cure, Joe. I'll send you my address so I can help you work through the rotation.

I always wonder what it would've been like living 100 years ago, where a man only had one razor. My friend (he's my parent's age 60+) inherited his grandfather's razor and he has been shaving with it his whole life. It's the only razor his gfather had and it's my friends only razor too. However, I bought some razors that belonged to a local man from Eastern, MA. The man was born in 1872 and died before 1940. He had a bunch of razors of several different sizes and shapes...so he wasn't exactly particular to any kind. One thing I must say, though, is that when he could, he bought local. One of the razors is a Holzaur that was made in Germany, but it says Troy, New York (only a couple miles from where I live). And, one is from Schenectady and another identifies itself a Kahnweiller from New York. I looked them up and they resided in Albany, New York too.

An intelligent razor rotation is any comprised without cartridges.

+1
I think it too...
Some of them are better, and are worse, but for some reason I like them all...

Yeah...I must agree, I like most of mine too. Lately, I have been gravitating to a couple that seem to shave without any irritation whatsoever. Now, if I could just figure out if it is my honing or the razor itself I would be all set.

I really like this thread. I started with just one of these things, then found antique stores. Here is my problem with rotation... I found a pack that will hold 5 razors so I am trying to figure out how to maximize this one and having a lot of trouble trying to figure out just which razors to include in my 5 day rotation. Very frustrating... Now I find there are 30 razor packs so I can stretch my set a bit if I can find one of those...
Now here is the problem... Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; All the rest have thirty-one, Save February, with twenty-eight days clear, And twenty-nine each leap year.
So what do I do for the months that have 31 days and a strange month like Februrary that can't quite make it mind up?
