Thread: KEEPING RAZOR SHARP

Different edge requirements for a knife than a razor. My method for blade maintenance is as follows:

1. Daily stropping
2. CrO pasted paddle strop every 5-6 weeks (YMMV)
3. Norton 4K/8K every 2-3 months (YMMV)

The time to put your razor on a pasted strop or hone is really dictated by the edge, i.e., the razor begins to tug when you shave. The time between the pasted strop and hone varies depending on your usage (how many razors in your rotation), shave techniques, etc... Unless you damage your edge, you will not need to redo the edge for a very long time.
