random thoughts and questions - all things shaving

finally ordered a razor after some time lol

what's the longest you've gone between buying razors? Regardless to de/se etc
Quite a while really - i like to use one thing until i am satisfied i have explored it fully, before i buy a replacement. I think it can be deceptively easy for us to use something once and badly and then just shelve it, without then exploring whether its the device or the operator at fault, and that's the same for many hobbies and interests i think, not just shaving.

The Japanese have a philosophy, which i like, that you cant have true understanding of anything until you have practised it a thousand times

Have been using my EJ89 and My Merkur 20c since 2016 with a variety of blades and a variety of techniques (!) and i think i have got to a stage where i felt i could get a fairly consistent shave from them both.

Recently i splashed out on a Merkur Progress to open up a new avenue of DE adventure and am having great fun finding its good bits and not-so-good bits. :)
 
finally got around to ordering from yaqi on aliexpress and its my first time using aliexpress,
