Thread: Issue with honing many razors at once.

I havent had to go back to the stone on any razor i honed and was satified with the edge to date. With as many as i rotate thru i bet the most shaves on any one of mine is around 10. So i wont even need a touch up for a while. But i will admit that im going back over some i thought were good a year ago and find now i didnt really know as much as i thought i did. Soon i will have them all under control.

But then again, im still restoring. Ha.

That's very true-old razors in my rotation that used to meet my standards sometimes no longer do. Once you learn by doing that you too can get those velvet squeegee edges repeatedly with a little more effort, you're no longer willing to settle for just an adequate edge, and why should you if you have the tools and the know-how?

But as you say, it's hard to squeeze in our hobby sometimes when work overwhelms us. I believe I remember you saying you work 70-80 hours a week, Jerry? I thought about you today when I saw the video of the massive tanker explosion in Italy-you guys who haul gas have my respect!
