Thread: How soon do you have to hone a shave ready Dovo?

"How soon do you have to hone a shave ready Dovo?"

The answer is: whenever it needs honing.

It's as simple as that. Too often we argue about how long a blade should last, and get caught in the mindset that a blade SHOULD go for months and months without seeing a stone. The reality is who cares? Your face will tell you when the blade needs honing. This could be after 5 shaves, or it could be after 55 shaves. Obviously, with more experience and better technique you will find you can prolong the time between honing, but don't worry about that now. If you find your blade is tugging, take the five minutes and do a touchup and problem solved.
