Otherwise you risk ruining the edge on your new razor and going back to another form of shaving just to get the job done. Many will tell you that you shouldn't even attempt honing until you are proficient with shaving with the SR. I don't subscribe to that since in the hours between shaves you could be experimenting on the hones. BUT, it has to be on a different razor than your daily. Enjoy your new razor when it arrives.
