I'm not talking about alternating between the two edges, but rather after 3-4 full shaves open the razor and flip the blade inside. Any benefit or harm?
Do you flip the blade in a DE razor?
This question pops up frequently. Consensus of opinion seems to be that it doesn't help. I tried it and it didn't make any difference.
I can juggle 4 running chainsaws but *shudder* at the thought of flipping a single blade....
Okay so when you gunna post some pics or a VID of that??!!!
The chainsaw video might be a long time coming as it was just my little attempt at humour (a.k.a. lying )...but I really can juggle three little poofy balls! Honest!
I have always wondered why the edges are numbered on some DE blades. I figured it was to help the blade flippers keep track. Consequently, I have tried flipping, but I don't think it matters.
I flip sometimes. Not sure i get the notion above, i.,e., "its not worth it because it's the same blade", but I'm not sure I'm getting any benefit either.
Would be nice to see a macro shot of the top and bottom of a blade that's been used 4-5 times on one side though.
