Thread: How many" touch up" before resetting the bevel.

I've got a surgical black (vintage norton/pike) and a vintage norton/pike translucent that give me real nice edges with light oil when I use them.

Utopian said that he kept a rotation shaving well for 4 years on a barber hone. I don't remember if he specified the brand. One other thing to consider is that what might be satisfactory for one guy, in terms of sharpness and smoothness, might not be satisfactory for another.

I had one. Really one of the best I had. (sold all but a long Swaty) IIRC they spelled it "Itsapeech" but I might be wrong, I was wrong once before.

"Itsapeech"or "Its a peech" is that different spelling?

Thank you for stating this again.I use CroOx on rough leather once a month and only strop every 2-3 shaves.Dovo says you can go 6-12 shaves without stropping,but that is way to rough for me.8 months in I'm thinking that my 2 razors need a visit with my 4/8 stone for a lite piramid honing to smooth things up.
