Default Why Rotate?

Is there a reason for having a razor rotation other than just to try different blades or breaking up the routine of only using one razor?

Broadly speaking, IQ. To be more precise, the ability to read and understand what's been said in the forums many, many times over. One razor will do. The rest is between you and your wife/shrink/pawnbroker.

I guess this means that some people have gotten in trouble with the Mrs., developed various obsessive disorders, or had a pawnbroker hunt them down because of too many razors.
