Back at the end of November I began to keep a notebook with which razors I honed and which stones I used. Sometimes detailed and sometimes just the bare essentials. I wish I had started keeping the log when I first began honing but better late then never.
I have a lot of razors and many hones. On many of those razors that I honed before keeping the log I have no idea what I used on them, how long they took or how I felt about the shave once I tested them.
I am using one of those composition books with lined paper and doing it long hand. I'm an old timer and this suits me. I imagine a spread sheet would be a more contemporary approach but for now this is fine for me.
Just thought I would throw this out there. I am sure others are already doing something like this but I hadn't noticed any posts on the topic. I think it will be useful to me to track my progress in honing and to know what is working well. Might be useful for you too. :tu
