I must be weird! :roflmao Lynn honed one of mine a few months back. Other than using a pasted strop (CrO from Lynn and Don on a Tony Miller paddle) every 2 weeks, and pre-shave stropping, mine have stayed wonderfully sharp. It is a Geo Wostenholm&Sons 6/8 round point. My other one I bought shave ready in the classifieds (a generic 6/8 round point) gets the same treatment.
I just bought my first hone from Howard, a Norton 4000/8000. This week I also plan to buy a Shapton 16000 from him as well. I have previously purchased a few razors on ebay that I am going to learn to hone with. When I get that down I am going to hone a nice Dovo that I picked up last week.
