Use more than one razor for a shave?

I was just curious if any of you use more than one razor during a single shave.

Depending on the razor I am using for the main shave, I may have to use a different razor for touch ups in the mustache area if the razor is too mild or bulky to handle the dense stubble to my liking.

I normally do a four pass shave WTG, XTG, ATG and then a 4th clean-up pass. When I travel, I use a single razor for all four passes. When I shave at home I use four different razors, nd not always the same four.

The 1st pass is generally done with an open comb razor, the Parker 24C. It is an efficient razor for mowing down the overall growth.
The 2nd and 3rd passes are done with a variety of razors, typically solid bar design. The 3rd pass ATG will generally be done with a less aggressive razor with a very sharp blade.
I generally use a very mild SuperSpeed clone for the clean-up pass. That razor will be equipped with a super sharp blade to compensate for the lack of aggression in the razor.

I have a very tough beard and very sensitive skin. Using razors in this manner generally allows me to get a near BBS shave with zero irritation. When traveling, I normally take the SuperSpeed clone, but never get quite as close a shave after four passes as I do using various razors.

Same razor for my 1 pass shaves!

When I shave my head though, I'll use my Gillette skin guard cartridge to complete 99% of the shave but use whatever DE I have on the shelf to get my sideburns even and touch up around my ears.

Ingenius. Often wondered why we all stick with one tool when it is obvious razors can be better in different roles. You got me thankin'

I get tired of cleaning razors after I shave or I might be tempted to use several in one shave.

Only if I'm trying a new one and it's an abyssmal failure. Not too many DEs in the category (although there have been a few), but some of my initial SR honing attempts were less than optimal.

A cold chisel, wood chisel, axe, hatchet, butcher knife, filet knife and scalpel are all tools with sharp edges, but they are designed for different purposes.  In the kitchen, you can use a paring knife to do everything, but trying to butcher a side of beef with one would be tedious.  Although all razors can be used for shaving, some are designed to do some things better than others. When shaving, the first pass requires a razor that will not clog, even with multiple day growth. The final pass requires finesse to remove stubble trying to escape. Asking a single razor to do both requires a certain amount of compromise. About the only razor that can accomplish everything without compromise is a straight razor. Clogging is never and issue and it can be maneuvered with the skill of a surgeon's scalpel.

I sometimes "cheat" and us either a Gillette Guard or a Bic Metal disposable to get real close under my nose and around my mouth for a final touch up. The former is perfect for around the mouth and chin cleft and the latter for that spot just under the nose.

I never need to use more than any individual razor I have by itself to get my bbs. Technique and shaving all 3 directions has always done the job for me. That's what works for me. If some prefer another method, it's their shave, enjoy.

That is not cheating. All you have done is use a more suitable tool. A compact head works much better for the situations you mention.
