The first rule of the OCD club. Is we need a second rule so we have an even number of rules.
Am I OCD?

Now, that's funny!
Well, after reading all the posts in this thread I realize I am very fussy about my shaves. Everything has to be laid out in advance, clean and in order, there is a process i follow and heaven forbid i vary this process. The clean up after the shave is nothing short of meticulous and must be done in a certain order. Everything must be put back in its proper place clean, dried, labels facing forward, everything lined up. The only thing I dont do is flip my blade. I change my blade every Sunday and go through a pretty strict cleaning routine at that time. Every piece of hardware in the Rusty Blade Shaving Museum is also treated to archival quality care. So, am I OCD? You betcha.
Except this OCD person prefers odd prime numbers... so there is that.
So your favorite light rock-n-roll album is Tracey Ullman’s “You Broke My Heart In 17 Pieces” and your favorite fusion rock album is King Crimson’s “Three of Perfect Pair,” are they?
My birthday is on the 19th of the month.. and my wife is an interior designer.... she says... odd numbers work... 3 candles or 5.. never two or 4. Who am I to argue?
5 is my favorite number. 
Aren’t you arguing with all of us right now?
I don't see it that way.... but then again, I know better than to argue with my wife of 48 years.. I've only known you guys for 6 months or so. <eg>
As "they" say... I always get the last words in with my wife: Yes, Dear.
This is why an OCD club would never work. Even the format of the rules will never be agreed upon.
I will lose sleep tonight over that cabinet. Thanks, Slock.
One of my occupations was "kitchen cabinet installer".... that one hurt... thx so much. <eg>I will lose sleep tonight over that cabinet. Thanks, Slock.
This is odd.
Rate of OCD on this forum has got to be higher than general population.
I don't think you're OCD, you just like stuff looking nice. Nothing wrong with that!
I change blades every 3 uses and do the full cleaning when doing so. And I shave daily which means I do I might be doing it every couple days since I switch razors almost every day.
And for my Gillette TTO's:
If it's not due for a blade change yet, I leave it in the open position after a shave and wipe the inside with the blade in place. I do that because those accumulate a lot of soap residue and leaving it open, let's it dry faster.

I had a Merkur 34C start getting playing corrosion after about 12 years of use. I never disassembled between shaves until it was time to change the blade.
Now as of this year I’ve started disassembling my razors after use. I give them the once over with soap and my fingers or at times use a cotton swab. I let it dry before assembling it and putting it in the stand over night.
I’ve got Gillette A1 super speed
Satin Merkur Futur
Yaqi OC chrome plated
YPM 921-EH
I’m thinking of selling a couple of those but I’m taking good care of them until then.

When you prefer even prime numbers you will have problems
.I joke that I have some OCD tendencies but it's really more that I like things neat and tidy, especially kitchens and bathrooms. The actual act of shaving on the other hand, well...
