    That's what I do as well, after three in one sitting it starts getting counter productive unless I take a fairly long break

    Being mostly restored, all mine are one at a time.
    Bevel set to test shave. I've had a few that needed to go back to the rocks for another bevel setting.

    For the guys who don’t restore and sell, there almost no need to be honing that much, don’t see how anyone can be honing all the time, you only got one face

    Unless your wife has found the sweetness that is a straight razor, and now uses it to do her legs arm pits and... then you will be honing tons more.

    If your wife’s leg hair is that stiff to dull a razor faster than your face, might want to get her a brush hog

    I used to kind of let them pile up and when I had say 4 that needed refresh I'd do them all at once. These days I do them as they need. I find it's better that way.

    Of course we are talking a refresh which really doesn't take too long per razor.

    In the old days when I was buying on Eboy and restoring I was seemingly always doing major honing but that is in the past.

    I only have a couple razors, so my beard hair and her legs makes edges go faster than I would like.

    I was going to say "bush hog" but somebody might read something into that, TC

    It is defiantly harder to hone more than one at a time because each razor requires different strokes, gymnastics, pressures.
