Thread: Production honing

3 or 4 razors at one time. The razors that needs a new edge begins whit the 1k and so up to 12k
If there razors are that only need a touch up they jump in by 8 or 12k.
Ready whit 1k i put it out of sight.

Most of the time i hone in the evening, i dont stop until I am satisfied whit the sharpnes.

Yup, this is usually my approach as well.

Same as Jimbo and Birnando - besides, I generally use tape and prolonged wet times where the water seems to 'cling' or seep under the very edge of the tape often left a line that had to be polished out.

One at a time for me as well. I only hone for myself so there is no backlog or deadline to meet.

You could use Sharpie markers. Sharpie will withstand water but wipes right off with alcohol.

I hone one at a time as well even if I have multiple razors in the queue, I like treat each razor as an individual project.

I found it difficult to manage the pressure I use at different parts of the progression or grit level honing several razors to any particular stage then moving on.

+1 - this is one of the reasons I like to do one at a time. I always tape other people's razors unless they explicitly request otherwise.
