Well, there are no honing services enywhere in my country. Believe it or not, classic shaving is unknown to pretty much everyone here and noone uses a brush (well, noone I know... besides my father and brother and that's because of me haha)
Shaving, around here, is all about speed and number of blades.

Anyways, I think I'll buy a straigth from a member of this forum somewhere in the near future (I tried a long time ago but my debit card was not accepted by paypal, this time I'll try a new credit card) The thing is, I'm afraid the maintenance cost could be too high.

I've seen the founder of SRP (Lynn) offers honing services at a reasonable price although living on another country could duplicate the cost but enough with the QQ, my question is:

If I use the straigth one or two days a week (the other days I shave with my MerkurHD ) and it is properly stroped before every shave, how often would it be need to be honed? 1 month, 3 months, 6 months?

I don't mind spending money on the honing services, specially if they're offered by one of the most famous members of the comunity n__n but I don't think I can do it too often

BTW, for those wondering, I live in Honduras :P
