What do you think of mine, ie: 8k Kingstone plus 8k nani SS, 10k Icebear, then straight to the 20k Suehiro. Do you think I should have a stone in between the 10k and the 20k and anything you might suggest?

Sorry mate, I wanted to ask you about maintenance honing. I similarly do the same, subconsciously I guess, but I don't keep any real record of which razor got what and when. BUT I rarely wait for one of mine to become obviously dull, apart from being manic and doing thumb pad tests after my morning coffee. Do you have a system? I have a dozen razors, and I take enormous pride from their condition, same as my hones , strops, brushes etc. I have four razors I 'love' more than the rest, never the less, they all get a start in the rotation, that's why I keep them all ready to go. Any morning I could pick at random and be sure I'll at least get a comfortable shave. Of course some better than others but all will give you a good scrape. Your advice mate.
