I hit 100 straight razor shaves today. Here are some stats:

Razors used:
  1. Koraat (39 times)
  2. Joseph Rogers & Sons (30 times)
  3. Union Razor Cutlery (17 times)
  4. Gold Dollar (14 times)
First straight razor shave: April 4th, 2025
Types of razors used since beginning to learn straights (this really surprised me):
  1. Straight Razor - 100 shaves, 37%
  2. Double Edge - 100 shaves, 37%
  3. Cartridge - 35 shaves, 13%
  4. GEM - 22 shaves, 8%
  5. Disposable - 14 shaves, 5%

I would have guessed I used DE razors more often than straight razors! What a fun coincidence that they're both at 100.

GEMs seem to always end up being the losers, somehow ๐Ÿ˜ญ
