Thread: Will my straight razor "routine" be enough to ensure that it will last?

Some CrOx on a dedicated strop with proper technique can keep a blade going for a very long time.
It will eventually need a hone this is inevitable.
The blades are not indestructible but with proper care they can go for an (as far as I know) undermined length of time.
unfortunately as you learn to maintain a blade you will more than likely dull an edge or three.
Each time it will go longer but there is a learning curve.
If you really want to be self sufficient plan on getting hones and more than one razor.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I cannot see it happening any other way.
It will need to be honed at some point so the question is who,
and if you are going to do it there is a learning curve to honing that is longer than the learning curve to shaving with a straight.
