I'm sure its a form of derangement. I just seem to enjoy it almost as much as shaving itself and I never want to discover honing or refreshing is needed during a shave.

So, as a result I have much more fun than you guys that are trying to see how long you can go between touch ups and honing but then my razor's lives are likely cut in half as well. But, that gives me future excuse to buy more- so there!

Not so sure. There is a lot of fun to be had in knowing that your last touch-up was so well done that it seems to have a life of its own.

It really is an awesome feeling of accomplishment when you actually shave with a razor honed or touched up by your own hand!
