How do you do your rotation?

[ezmike]

I'll go first.

I pick a razor, blade, soap/cream and brush and use them for a week. How I pick each and in what order borders on the compulsive so I'll keep that to myself.

After Shave may change day to day based on what I'm feeling.

Okay, your turn...

Razor and blade are paired till I'm done with the blade (3-5 days)
Soap/Cream is changed daily. I usually pick one the before bed then change my mind in the morning
AS is (balm or splash) is changed daily

I am usually trying one new idea or tool, and rotating other products around it. Lately the new thing has been the razor. I rotate blades with each blade change, brushes daily, and soaps when I feel like it.

 

[PozzSka]

My straights get a normal rotation, one each day, 4 razors, repeat.

My brushes are kinda the same (6 brushes, used once, move on to the next), but this does change occasionally, if I really want to use a certain brush.

Aftershaves, I just wing it...pick whichever one jumps at me that day.

Soaps, I've been trying to figure out a good rotation schedule, but being that I have 10 of them, it gets a little random.

Completely unplanned, unless I'm trying to determine something about equipment or products. I just start grabbing stuff on the spur of the moment.

Ditto for me, unless I get something new - then it takes priority for at least the next shave.

Use the same razor all the time, but have a 5 blade rotation. As far as soaps, I use 5 at the moment rotating each day.

 

[djm2]

I use a fairly random rotation but I would guess that after 30 days each brush/razor has been used almost equally. The soap is a bit different, with a decided edge to the OBR and a loss to the EJ which I keep as a travel puck.

 

[steveshaver]

I rotate blade/razor weekly and soap/brush daily.

 

[grimas42]

I use the same type of blade and rotate through all the razors in my "active" rotation. Once I am through, I try a new type of blade.

 

[mandoman]

razor and blade till blade is done soap,cream & AS I pick a different
one every day

 

[Greyfox]

I change razors when it is time to change the blades. Soaps and creams I rotate daily. I rotate daily the 3 aftershaves. I have EDT's niched to seasons and wear them in their season.

 

[Sledgehammer39]

Sometimes I stick with one blade and one razor for three to four shaves and than switch up to another razor and blade.

 

[David T.]

I lay things out the night before and, like others, do a change up in the morning. Tomorrow I am taking the day off so I'll use a straight, I don't know what one, that will be random too or subject to change.

 

[BrianL]

Same razor, usually same blade, same brush. Soap or cream will vary by whim and same with after shave. I pick in the morning after my shower. While on vacation I will only use Proraso in the tube and Old Spice after shave.

 

[Thomas849]

Depends on the day. If something important is supposed to happen, I choose tried & true combo's. Otherwise I grab whatever looks good to me that day. Razor, blade, soap, brush, AS, ect.

 

[njpaddy]

Razor/blades: SS (IP Red blade) from Oct thru May. Merkur HD (Merkur blade) from June thru Sept. Blades are changed after 2 shaves.
Brushes: After some recent sales and purchases this month, I will be going to a 4 brush rotation, changing each shave.
Cream/soap: Down to rotating 4 creams but soaps are still spur of the moment a couple of times a month.

 

[dpmtherrien]

I don't really have a planned rotation at all. I have 4 DE razors, 6 straights, and 4 brushes. I normally shave every 3rd day so I just kind of look at my beard, then the razors, brushes, pick a soap at random, and shave. I works for me, so I don't see any reason to change from this method.

 

[jsj_297]

Easy, load up my GEM 1912, use my Semouge 1305, Proraso/KMF mint creams, then its Osage time! Why change what works??

This I say, as I have a new muhle head razor enroute to me.....hhahahaaa Hypocrite!!!

 

[captp]

Razor and blade always the same; Futur and Personna Lab. Soap: Cella one, 1 of 5 Mama Bear the next. Brush: try to rotate through them 1 by 1, unless I just got a new one. Pick a cologne at random, no real thought to that.
