Does anyone else have any shaving superstitions?
This crossed my mind this morning as a I loaded my blade and without thinking about it consciously I made sure that the side of the blade labelled "3 | 4" (rather than "1 | 2") was uppermost. There is no good reason for this, but I did it none-the-less.

I don't think I have any active superstitions (at least ones of which I'm aware), but occasionally while I'm shaving I'll think about Robert on TV's Everybody Loves Raymond touching his chin with his spoon before putting it in his mouth. I may have some "tics" like that without knowing it.

I think this has a lot more to do with my OCPD...
I always layout a flannel (wash cloth) on the counter top next to the sink, then layout everything I will use for that day's shave on the flannel, every item is placed exactly in the same position each and every shave.

My wife thinks I'm a total fruit cake, shakes her head and laughs as she walks away, leaving me in peace...

*i do not have any superstitions that i know of, but maybe habits.
Tim, does the stropping not dull the DE baldes?

Don't know if it helps, but it doesn't hurt!
