I should clarify what I said above. I'm not very good at interpreting edge tests. I can hone a razor so that it will cut off arm hairs at just a touch, which would be great if this was what the razor was meant for, but it's not. The only test I can really quantify the results is the shave test. For me that is with full prep and lather. Or else I'm not really certain how the edge will perform.

In the past I have done five laps on a finishing stone, then being unable to do a full shave test, I would give it a couple more laps just for good luck. The best results I have had lately are when I do just five laps on the finishing stone and then put it down.

If the shave wasn't that great I would go back to the hones the next day.

Lynn may be able to hone many razors in one day, but I would rather take many days to hone one razor and get it right.
