I haven't been at this for very long but rotate because I'm still learning. I've managed to accumulate 10+ razors. This is more than I intend to keep (famous last words) but they are helping me assess my hones and develope my honing skills. I use a different progression and finishing hone with each razor and note them on the blades with a marker. Once honed all razors are stropped in the same manner. When a blade produces what I consider to be a great shave, it's retired for the time being and I use an untested example for my next shave. If it does not pass, it goes back to the same hone for another try. My goal is to eventually determine which hones and which razors work best for me and those will be the keepers unless there's an upgrade.
