I honestly don't get bad shaves anymore, unless of course I'm using a disagreeable soap, and that has happened from time to time.I take it that your observations are quite different to mine. Do you really get broadly equivalent shaves from very different razors? High and low blade exposure, gaps, supposedly aggressive and mild- feeling razors? I don’t know what razors you have, but it is interesting if we have such widely varying experiences, and I would certainly see where your argument is coming from.
Though I don't chase BBS, I frequently get it, and my shaves are virtually the same regardless of what razor I use.
I do use different razors. President, Tech's, Old Type, Gillette New, Fatboy, Superspeeds in all its iterations, R41, Aristocrats, Merkur Slant, R89, the New Gillette with the bar handle and the Muhle head, several different Schick Injector types, and the Maxwell June razor that uses a folded DE blade very similar to the Trac II.
I tried the new Gillette with the really crappy, slippery chrome handle but I hated it because of the handle, it's fine now that I swapped it out with a SS knurled handle, but it's really just a Muhle razor head with a WCS handle.
Some are very similar in use, but others require a very different approach (for example the Superspeed vs a Schick Injector).
