When do I need to refresh the edge on my razor? Or how will I know when it needs to he refreshed would be a better question. Will the edge need to be refreshed more often for a beginner than someone more experienced?
What hone would be recommended for refreshing the edge? I'd imagine it would be a high grit, based on what I've learned so far, or a barber's hone (I'm still a bit unclear as to what the differences between the two would be).

When I first got my razor, it could pass a HHT no problem, but now, it can't. I know, I know...it's meant as a honing guide to probe the edge and the real test is the shave test. I've read all about it in SRP wiki, but that brings me back to my first question.

Any advice, knowledge and elaboration you guys can pass on is much appreciated. In the mean time, I'll keep digging in the SRP wiki.
