I have 33 razors in my rotation and each 1 has a personality of its own. some are BBS smooth and others are just a little rougher. I do know however when I start which 1 is which and how to handle each 1. I think that's the fun of it for me- it's always a different experience! obviously I like the ones that are smoother but I'll go with anyone as long as I'm 100 percent positive that it is shaved ready!
