I've got Chris Moss's .pdf book on straight razor use and care, in which he says I'll probably have to have my razor re-honed once every two to three months..!! I like the state Lynn put my razor in two weeks ago, but $30. including shipping every 2 months? Is this true, or is it a new way to generate revenue for Classic Shaving? It's not what I read elsewhere nor see on other (brand-x) sites and forums. I have a nice silver steel razor, plus a stainless steel 99 cent eBay special on which I am practicing the art of honing with moderate success so far.
