    Well, I don't hone that many razors, but if I have to hone a few I take each through the progression one at a time... I find each razor (even within the same brand and model) has its own personality, and I may a use different “mix” of hones to get each one shave ready.

    I suppose if you are in a production environment it’s better to do all on one hone before moving one to the next hone.

    I try to put the razors I am going to hone into categories and then work from there. So if a dozen repairs, I'll start with a 220 grit and work up. If just bevel setting, I'll start at 1K and work up, and so on. In any case, I always do them more in the assembly line approach as Sham suggested. Day, after day, after day, after day...............

    The good thing about this when you have mutltiple razors is that you are bascially using one stone at a time, particularly with synthetics and don't have to keep going back and forth through your hone progression multiple times. In my case, a lot less up and down.......

    Have fun,

    Lynn

    I like to set all my bevels at once and then take each razor to shave ready one at a time. This is mostly so that if I get frustrated with a given blade on the 1k, I can work on another one and then return to the one that frustrated me. Once I have the bevels set, I get impatient and want to get each individual razor to full sharpness asap, so that is exactly what I do.

    One at a time is comfortable for me. I just finished two this week.
