DE. Switching sides?

[T Rick]

Just wondering how you do it. I've read one fellow state he uses one side until it's dulled, then switches to the other side. I tend (so far) to use one side of the blade for one side of the face, rinse, and use the other side for the other half. Keeps it even. Then I repeat for the neck.

You?

That's what I do switch sides after each pass works for me

 

[htownmmm]

I shave both sides of my face equally while flipping the razor for each stroke.

Personally, I always use one side until I have to wash it off and then switch to the other side.

yeah, me too

I do it like the OP; one side of the blade for one side of the face, and the other for the other. Works for me.

 

[paulboeck]

yeah, me too

What they said.

One side, flip, other side, rinse, repeat.

What I don't understand is those who uses one side of the blade until it goes dull and then switches. All the water and corrosion should make that side far from perfect.

I personnaly use both side while im shaving

 

[Tat2d Bald Dude]

Yeah, I use one side for one pass and then switch on the next pass, and then so on and so on.

One side, flip, other side, rinse, repeat.

Yup, what he said, except my en suite is too small for me to flip anymore, plus I'm getting old. Now I just move to the other side of the blade. Less energetic, but I'm not with Crique de Soleil either!

Peace,

Shave, flip, shave, rinse, start again.

What they said.

Ditto that.

1-3 strokes on one side. When it's ready to be rinsed, I flip it and do 1-3 strokes on the other side. When it's ready to be rinsed, I rinse it and start over. I'm not so rythmic that I shave each part of my face the same each time. Sometimes I go above the chin line on one side then the other before going below the chin line. Sometimes it's the whole side of my face above and below the chin line. Sometimes I save my goatee area for last. It's too complicated to track when I flip the razor.

This is what's known as "overthinking things".

 

[infotech]

I use one side until it's full of lather and then flip it. Fill the other side up and then rinse and repeat.

 

[Commander Quan]

I just shave. There are more important things to think about than how many strokes I've made with each side of the razor.

 

[Bluemidknight]

One stroke flip.. two stroke flip.. rinse...

Yeah I use both sides..

I use one side until its loaded with lather, then the other side, then I rinse and start again with which ever side presents itself. I only use a blade for 4 shaves and then put in a new one. Thats what works for me.
