    I hope so... I want to be able to refresh my razors. I'm sure my neck and chin whiskers could be used to strengthen steel bridge cables. As a result, it seems my razors only last for about 20-25 shaves before they start tugging and pulling.

    It sounds like you need more razors Dave !

    This has been my thinking as well.My cheek whiskers shave off no problem,but the neck tingles after cause the hair is much thicker.until now I've been refreshing on an 8k and paste,hoping the 12k will be smoother and take away the tingle.

    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    I think I will, from all the reviews and comments I've read here. I'm cheating a little and trying to back my way into honing. If I can practice on the 12k with just a few circles and X strokes, I can refresh my blades for sometime before a full honing will be needed. (if I screw it up, I don't think the 12k will do serious harm, and I can send the razor/s to one of our pro's)

    That's my logic (which has been shown to be flawed in the past) anyway.

    Love the stone, when I decided I would get into honing, I decided to start with refreshing first using the Nani 12k, and I had success virtually right out of the gate. I watched this video several times, Lynn uses the Nani 12k at the 10:30 mark in the video:
