Am I cheap or easily confused

I just ordered some Personna Red pack and I have not yeat figured a way to keep the blades rotated in the razor except this. To shave with a razor, remove the blade and put into another razor.

Is that cheap or an easy way to rotate the blades?

 

Rotate the blades? I don't think you need to do that.. where did you hear the idea of rotating DE blades?

 

Hence the cheap part. The easily confused is that I forget which razor I was on. I do not have many but 4 am does not a clear thought make.

 

I typically have blades in multiple razors, then I can just pick from which ever one I want to use of the loaded razors. When a blade starts to feel dull, out it goes. For a while I used a sharpie to mark on the blade each time I used it to count, but I decided it makes sense to continue to use it until it is getting dull.

 

Do you mean flipping the blades around so all sides/ angles get used? I did that for a while and then quit when I figured out the blade only cost 20 cents AND flipping it around didn't improve the shave or extend durability.

If I understand you right and you really DO want to flip/ rotate the blades, then I recommend you buy a butterfly- opening razor. They're the easiest to change blades on...

 

Rodd,

Glad to see you moved away from the sharpie - that sounded just a bit anal-retentive

 

As opposed to the rest of this thread?

 

I'm goin go to go with the cheap. I load up all my razors and if I pick up a razor and it feels dull, I throw the blade out and grab a different razor. Buy a box of 100+ and dont worry about how many you use. An entire years worth is still cheaper than a months worth of cartridge replacements.

 

Single,

I would go with JayKay's Idea.

Take care,

Dark

 

So I am a cheap shave and an expensive date. Better one than the other?

 

Whatever gits it done, SW.
At one point I had my rotation in my PDA.....would update it every day.
When I reached 3 -4 shaves, Id change out the blade.
Nowadays, my true self has kicked in:

My PDA died and I am too lazy to keep up the spreadsheet elsewhere.
I just shave til the blade tells me "no Mo" !

 

Get a straight and stop worrying about blades and their rotation

 

and Lee thought I was bad...

 

If you can find a woman who enjoys paying and likes cheeks w/ rough patches, that is... :happy102

 

Ha ha! Good one, Rick. You are joking, right?

To quote one of our other members (I forget his name, but I think he's a medic)..."Just shave, baby!"

 

Have one and need a honemeister, but considering a Feather.

 

and start worrying about honing skills, honing materials, refined technique, bloody learning curve, expensive razors?

I kid, I kid...one day I'll get the guts and motivation to do this I think.

 

I decided to use Rod' approach. Anal retentive maybe, but my skin is so sensitive.

 

With blades being so inexpensive, I use 'em 3 times and into the shavebank they go.....

 

I say use a new blade every day. Make every day your birthday!
