I changed the brush today, but was too lazy to update the SOTD pic.

First double blind test today, I randomly drew a razor with the mystery marks invisible. This is to avoid developing confirmation bias after thinking yesterday that I prefer the 1 mark razor: by using one random razor today and its sibling the next day for a few days, I’ll know that I actually can distinguish them by edge feel if I guess right more often than not.

So today’s mystery edge felt beautifully smooth and sharp like the 1 mark, I’m logging that answer. After tomorrow’s shave with the other edge, I’ll have a chance to change my mind before checking whether I guessed right.

Oh the suspense.

What’s this about?
