    KISS means to "Keep it Simple Stupid". In other words, dont make things complicated.

    I too am using barber's hones to keep my razors' edges in good shape and order. I also use them sometimes as a finish hone.
    Moreover, when I travel I always bring with me a Swaty hone. You never know.

    Still keep a Swaty by the bathroom sink. If I didn't sharpen a bucket load of knives each month; I doubt I'd have bought all the Kings and Nortons. I have used mostly 2 razors for the last 45yrs and the Swaty keeps them just fine. Tried the 8K and 12K stones, use 0.5u chromeOx. Seems to me that I still get a great shave with the Swaty and lots of stropping on plain leather.

    I do enjoy the ongoing debates about what you guys use to achieve sub-atomic particle finishes. Everybody needs a hobby.
