I travel a lot! I was wondering how long will a hone last on a razor? I can carry a strop with me no problem, but i like to travel with minimum equipment. I travel for 60 to 90 days at a time around the world.
Thanks Matt

imo best way to go is 2 razors and barbers hone + strop .
A razor should be usable ~2-3 months before honing is needed (the time depends on beard type, prep, and how you strop) .
Touch up on the barbers hone when needed an strop. I think that will be enough.
Thanks guys. I have not bought anything yet. I'm going to buy a wet shaving set from SRD. I'm leaving in about a week. Trying to get stuff together.
Welcome to SRP and good luck with shaving on your journey.
60-90 day's is getting a bit borderline, but as Bill say's, pastes would bring the edge back. I prefer hones, but under those circumstances, pastes would be the simplest way with no chance of broken rocks.
Welcome to SRP! You'll love it here.
