Personally I am either honing someone else’s razor or one, I have put a lot of time in polishing, so why would I scratch it up, needlessly.
The old spine wear/ width of the razor wear, theory does not hold up.
And for my rotation, once honed, they will probably never see the hones again, as long as I own them, and if they do, it will just be a finish hone, certainly not a bevel set.
