I hone and it's my favorite part of the hobby. It's relaxing and satisfying to put a killer edge on an eBay-sourced ancient P.O.S. razor and then shave with it. I've honed and re-honed all my razors many times - I've reached the point where I can't get a sharper edge - and that edge is *way* sharp. I have a set of Shaptons which I think really make honing easy compared to my Nortons - everything is predictable and comes out great. I hone with taped spines and two hands - I like to have total control over the pressure on the edge and be able to vary it along the length of the blade if need be. Maybe some day I'll graduate to honing one handed but I've just about mastered it with intense practice over a two month period.
