I have been rotating four razors--a 1951 Gillette Aristocrat, a 1952 Made in Canada ball end Tech, a gold Tech from the 1940s, and a 1974 long handle Super Adjustable (Black Beauty). If I had to justify the rotation, I would be hard pressed to say that one shave differed much from another. I honestly think it's the sense of history more than anything else. Especially with the Techs, I marvel at the simplicity of the design and wonder sometimes how many items produced today will last as long. The Aristocrat is beautiful to look at, and so forth. So is wet shaving with vintage razors mostly psychological?
