OK, I have had this problem happen a number of times now, so I can no longer pass it off as a once off issue....

A bit of a background: I have multiple (10 ish) razors that I rotate, but I tend to use the same razor for a number of months before swapping to a different one.

My problem is that more often than not, when I Change to a different razor, I tend to get irritation. It's not so bad that I would call it shaving rash, but it is irritating. after the first week or so of shaving the irritation subsidies and I no longer get it, until I change razors again....

Is it too much of a stretch to say that my skin could get used to a certain blade, and then be 'shocked' at the change, only to get used the next one that I rotate in? Or would it be more plausible that it could be the sharpness of the razor at the beginning of the rotation period is allot sharper than a week or so into it, and that aggressive edge is what is causing the irritation?

FYI prior to using straights I was on DE's shaving with feather blades without a problem (some people find those blades too aggressive for their skin).

Is there anyone else out there that experiences or has experienced the same issue?
