    As soon as you start disliking your shaves and cannot get them back in order with the method Lynn gave you. Note that a coticule can be a tricky stone to learn honing on, so you may want to buy another (cheap, but quality steel) razor to practice with.

    You should be able to maintain your razor using that technique for quite a while. When it quits working, then a honing from the 4K up should get you all the way back.

    Have fun.

    On the website, he links to two methods, I'm going to try this one, with a test blade:

    I use this method on a "la grise" stone, with outstanding results. Good luck & have fun.
