Multiple DEs: one or multiple blades?

Post by JackieMartling »

For those of you who have several DEs, do you keep blades in all of them, so you can just pick one up and shave with it, or do you use one blade at a time, and transfer it to whatever razor you will be using that day? The former option is clearly more convenient, but I am wondering if having all those blades out and exposed to the elements might lead to them degrading more quickly. Thoughts?

Hello Nathan,

I keep a blade in just the razor I am using. If I feel like switching razors, I'll switch on the fifth day of use when I change Feather blades. Plus, it's safer. Remember, all those blades are exposed. And it's easier to remember when to change the blade if you just keep the blade in one razor.

Cheers,
