Lots of convincing arguments on both sides. I don't have to think about it, because I change to a different razor with each shave, so the blade gets dried and moved.

Cutting angle of one razor is different from another razor and may be is impacting the blade edge. I only use a blade for max 3-4 shaves.

Never had a drop in efficiency putting the blade in the next razor, but I don't wipe the blade, just rinse under running water.

In fact, I start my Feathers in a feather razor, and walk them up the razor aggression ladder as the blade dulls, different angles take advantage of that process. I get about 4 shaves out of one blade with no tugging.(12-02-2022, 03:59 PM)TobyC Wrote:(12-02-2022, 03:56 PM)jags009 Wrote: When I try switching to different razors with the same blade I have observed a drop in efficiency of the blade.Not sure if anyone else has felt the same way.

I’ve noticed the opposite. After 5 or 6 shaves on a feather in the Drakkant it’s starting to feel less sharp but then I put it in the Rockwell 6s on 4 it’s sharp and good for three or four more. I haven’t tried it with other razors but I do agree about different razors having different geometry
