    Alb1981,
    I am new to the business of straights,but I have spent the last 5 months. concentrating on honing.
    I too had a "routine" when I started to hone. I soon learned to not develop a routine, but evaluate each blade first through magnification. Every edge is approached differently. Some shave ready in 20 minutes; some need a bevel set and take longer.
    I recently touched up my daily razor with a NeverDull barber hone with only 6 strokes & strop, she's back in the game. I usually touch up with a Shapton 16000.
    Sorry for any grammar errors, this is from my cell.
