Thx. all for the comments.

Yes, the razors I have are all professionally honed.

I have these stones: Norton 220/1k, Norton 4k/8k, Chinese 12k, Coticule and soon the Zulu Grey. I also have 4-5 flavors of SiC powder too! Since the straights I keep will see very limited use and should last a long time with just touch ups, I do not want to hone so I don't need all these stones.

@DaveW - My thoughts of touch ups/maintaining are what you are saying. Just looking for one stone and a strop!

Thx. all.
