Oh OK OK, I FORGOT! happy? Yes, it's a nice smooth razor. Of course, the length of time between honing is extremely personal. A whole lot of things play in to that:

. One's stropping
. One's prep
. One's skill, care and attention in shaving
. One's thickness of hair on one's face
. The density of that hair
. One's after shaving care of the razor
. The razor itself


I've put these in order as I see in importance and 'weighting'. I'd be interested in others' thoughts on my order, esp from those more experienced. This could actually be another thread...
