To each his own, that's what makes this place great, I however like honing. Easy and pretty straightforward to me...

I enjoy knowing that I am shaving with a razor that I restored and honed. It is satisfying to use an edge that you created, especially when it works good.
Nothing wrong with just maintaining and having others hone for you though.

You need to do what is most comfortable for you. And it really depends on how you are approaching SRs. If you only want to have 3-5 new SRs and use them in a rotation, then sending them out to be honed may be the best approach. For me, I like to use vintage razors that I find in the wild. I have about 25 SRs and I decide to invest in a set of stones and do my own sharpening. It didn't make sense to send 25 SRs out to be sharpened. Honing is very easy -- there are so many great resources on the web.
