Thread: How often hone? How often Strop?

Welcome to SRP!
I touch up on a .25micron diamond pasted strop nearly every shave before regular stropping but I'm probably the exception not the rule. I pull out the barber hone only when needed every month and a half or so.
You should strop before every shave. It aligns the edge for a smoother shave.
There are some who say you should rotate razors but I have not heard any real reason for this habit except that they have multiples and like the change of scenery
http://www.shavemyface.com/ on the homepage there is a nice Straight Razor Shave "How To" by Dr. Chris Moss. Answers a lot of questions.
Have fun in the forum.
