Thanked: 166
+1 On the barber's hone advice. That Pike swaty is supposed to be a real nice hone, and several of the very knowledgeable guys here have used barber hones to maintain their razors indefinitely. The whole premise for a barber's hone is that it would quickly refresh a just sub-par edge so that the barber could quickly get back to work.

I have yet to need to use my barber's hone for that purpose, but have full faith that a good honing technique and a good stropping technique can keep your blades going for a very long time. The question then becomes...do I have said technique? Time will tell.

Peace,
