For years I used the same razor, both at home and aboard the ship when I was in the Navy. It simplified things and I got satisfactory results. After finding the wet shaving community I rapidly got consumed by searching for a better-than-satisfactory shave. Ended up chasing emerging fads, both handles, blades, and straights for a period, and now have a modest collection of each that at best get sporadic use. I prefer to master a handle/blade combination, avoiding the need to remember different shaving angles or other unique characteristics of a myriad of choices. When all is said and done I still get a satisfactory shave and often one that BBS.
