Since I've started str8 shaving I've begun to recognize a distinct change in the razors I prefer. when I started out, my preference was wedge razors, two Wade and Butchers to be precise.

For some reason, I tend to nick myself whenever I use those razors. Also, for some reason, I just can't seem to get them as sharp as the hollowed out grinds. One of them will actually skip.... which scares the bejeeebers out of me. I'll give it one more try and if it continues, I'll rescale it and sell it on ebay.

I also find that I am beginning to like rounded points compared to squared points.... fewer nicks.

Now, I am trying to decide if I like a 6/8 or larger size or the 5/8 or smaller, Like the double duck.

Strangely enough, the razor that is becoming my most favorite to use was also my cheapest, a Keystone. For some reason, I just do better with it and it seems to shave closer (I think its stainless as well).

I wonder how much of this will change once I am more experienced in str8 shaving. What types of evolution have you experienced.
