I have a little idiosyncrasy I'd like to admit to. I have an aversion to using more than one razor on any given shave. I know it is not rational. "Use the best tool for the job," but it gives me a little pause/angst to have to say nope, can't do it with this one, have to switch. It's more of overcoming a challenge thing, than a true disorder. I'll try to legitimize it by suggesting it is important if I am traveling, but really, pleeeeze. I think it started when I was learning to use Feather straight razors and suffering some occasional really bad slices and I was disappointed I might need to switch to something else....and at the time, I think I had no DE razors, only cartridge, which seemed to make the defeat worse.
Am I alone in this? My attitude has matured quite a bit in the 10-15 years since I started, but I do still prefer to start and finish with same razor, as irrational as that might be. I guess it is practical from a cleanup and blade usage perspective...
