Thanks!
Thats just the first half of my set. Biggest I've got is 22-23". I'm trying to build a full set to 24", I'm only 4 mics shy.

Nah, once the standards are known, I can calibrate the mics myself. I'm not looking for NIST traceability.

Yes! Got a Leaf a few months ago and absolutely love it. No learning curve from my regular razors

I keep forgetting that a micrometer is a measuring tool, and not a subdivided meter. Add in that I missed the "lived", and the first thing I thought was "how can one 0.1mm be longer than another?"

Bring the gauges as well, they also need to be checked

That set is incredibly nice. Good lord I've never even touched any nearly as big as some of those (that's what she never said).

I frequently had ingrown hairs and bump from razors like the mach 3. I use a safety razor now with some sensitive skin proraso shaving soap and the problem actually cleared itself up. Though I do not shave my head so I cants comment there.

I’m sure they will be fine. We calibrate our sensitive torque wrenches all the time and they hardly ever need adjustment.

Can you keep it in the shower or will it rust?

Seriously if I clean it after each use I could use a single disposable razor for almost a month

A lone straight razor advocate here, I’ve been using the same one for four years and with routine care it scares the hair off my face.

Yep. Safety razors are great.
Pro tip: you can extend the useful life of your blades by preventing oxidation. When not in use, keep your razor head/blade submerged in mineral oil. (Can be found at the pharmacy for $2-3)
Shaving 2-3x a week and my blade lasts 2 months.
Pro tip #2: get your shaving soap etc. from Stirling soap. They’re incredible.
