Thread: How often do you do touch up of your razor?

So, I am interested how often do you do touch up of your razor.
I have 5 razors in rotation and I do light touch up (Coticule with water only) every 7-10 shaves.

Not sure how to answer th poll. My hollow ground razors usually get touched up after 7-10 shaves. My wedges and near wedges I can easily stretch out to 15+ shaves.

Varies with the razor. It's really impossible to answer the poll. Some I have to touch up after 15 shaves and some go for years.

King2011,

I believe in the 'little and often' approach, so my daily razors get touched up on a CrOx paddle after seven (7) shaves. Once a month they get touched up on a Naniwa 12k.

This is probably on the side of too much, but my chops don't complain

As Utopian has said it is easier to keep a razor sharp than to sharpen a razor

Have fun !

Best regards

I voted, but the reality of the answer is "whenever I feel that they've begun to tug". It's immediately pulled from the rotation and placed into the "touchup/hone" jar.

I use my razors as a seven day set and do the touch-up about once a year. That makes more than 45 shaves per razor?
