Thread: Honing Log.. do you?

Curious if those of you who do a lot of honing on various finishers, keep a log of what you do? I have a few ways to finish my edges and try to keep a log, but invariably I forget. And while I don't have a HUGE inventory of straights, I have enough that I forget how I finished the edge..

I'm an adopter of tech and created a template to log my inventory and honing. The template is in an application call KustomNote and it saves to Evernote. As easy as it is, I am thinking I may switch to note and paper and keep it my honing box..

Do you log the razors you hone? If yes, how and what do you log?

I highly recommend keeping a log of what razors you hone, what you honed them with. The more info you provide for yourself the better. Especially if you have a variety of hones and a lot of razors. I wish I could say that I did this consistently, and I intended to, but unfortunately my 'log' was few and far between. Whenever I did do it I used scrap paper, writing down what I did, and intending to transfer it to a computer. Alas, I've largely neglected that practice. So do as I say ....... not as I do .... (something I picked up from my father) .........

I keep a spreadsheet with tabs for shaves, honing and razors.
Honing is anything more than stroping
Big fan of Evernote - what template did you use in KustomNote?
"East of Montauk?" Not too far from Dave's Grill I hope...

More of a old school guy. I keep my shaving log in the front and honing log in the back.

Good idea. Something I have intended to do, but never done. I suppose at least 1 layer or two on old Sheffies might be helpful!
I do have a pretty good one on jetting my dirtbike and suspension settings.

I don't keep a log, but I'm thinking I may start. I have a few that I've picked up and know I've used 3 layers of tape, some 2 and most 1. I definitely need to write these things down.

I used to, but don't any more...too lazy. I just put my dull razors in a cup and hone here an there when I get down to a dozen or so on razors I can shave with.
