Thread: How different razors feel...

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!

Everyone else has said here, it sounds like a combination of angle and pressure. One of the things that have helped me with switching razors everyday is keeping a log of my shaves. (yes, I am that OCD!). I list. The date of purchase, honing dates and most importantly the shave characteristics (closeness of shave, razor burn, nicks, slices...etc). Using this I have been able to alter my exact rotation to use razors in an order that has razors with similar characteristics following each other. For example, I don't try and use my Boker shoulderless full hollow 6/8 immediately after my W&B 8/8 Full Wedge. The razors in my opinion, do not shave similarly. One requires less of an angle and a bit more pressure.

I'm working on a log for Pre-shave lotions and oils; soaps and creams; and after shave treatments to try to maximize my comfort.
