Thread: When will I need to send my razor off to get it honed?

Welcome!!

Its probably feeling sharper because you are getting better at angles, pressure, prep and stropping.

It will get dull though, my first line defense is a Chromium Oxide pasted strop for up to 20 laps then strop as usual, when that stops working then an 8k+ hone gets used (barber hone, synthetic or natural finisher)

Getting a 2nd from the B/S/T or some other place that sells shave ready razors would be good option in case one needs to be sent for a full honing or you just want some variety (or get addicted like most of us lol!!)
