As I am approaching my second year of DE shaving I am beginning to settle down in my routine and am achieving fairly consistent shave results. This is not only a result of me improving my technique, but in large part I am standing on the shoulders of fellow shaving brothers in better understanding my routine and making incremental adjustments as I progressed. John (@JoWolf), Al (@AimlessWanderer), JC (@JCinPA), Jack (@Jack Goossen), Marco (@Marco), Mitch (@mgweatherly), my namesake brother Guido (@JAHE) and David (@never-stop-learning) come to mind as well as reading and interacting with all brothers in the regular threads I frequent. Throughout October I have been pondering about where to go next. How do I continue to shave with my white belt on and keep honing my technique while routine is also kicking in.
I mentioned before that @kingfisher's head to head shave got me thinking about doing something similar myself to enjoy what I have (and therefore exercising some restraint) and also learn using my gear in a better way (as I am usually kind of all over the place when it comes to my razors, soaps and brushes). This will help me in dialing down a bit in jumping around, give my Razor Rotation Anxiety something to do as well as enable me to further hone my craft. I intend to do the following: pitch any two razors against each other for at least 3 shaves and then evaluate similarities and differences. I use one razor each day - so I am not doing the one razor one cheek type of comparisons. At least not for now. I will also attempt to review the razors I used or at least provide some information on what I think of the razor. The purpose is none other than to have fun. I am not searching for the one razor in my den or selecting the best one. I already know which one(s) those are.
This thread will serve as my main repository, but I will make seperate threads for each comparison. In my mind at least that seemed logical and structured.

:
. No idea which clone it was by the way as it had no markings at all, but it reeked havoc on my face. The only shave in 2 years I actually interrupted and stopped.
For some sick twisted reason I still have it, but buried deep in my closet never to be released again.
