Gary, the "ch.5" ? I don't understand your meaning. If you're referring to 0.5 diamond paste the answer is maybe. In general I have gotten more razors so often that I always have a backlog to hone. I try them after I hone them and if they aren't there yet I may resort to paste or diamond spray .... or chrom ox in between the first and second pass.
I shave with so many different razors that I haven't had to touch one up from using it a lot. Now what I have been doing lately is going back to razors that I honed when I first started out. Some that could have been better honed to begin with and playing around with them on barber hones and or a four sides paddle strop.
I'm finding that those things do work and work well given a chance. There appears to be a learning curve with those as well. At least for me. Hard to teach an old dog new tricks and I am no exception.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
