    I have seven in my rotation, but I love the zen-like experience of honing. I think I usually go 7-10 shaves on a razor before I touch it up on my jnat, but I've been playing with diamond spray for the last month or so with good results also. I think any reason to hone is a good one!

    I got 11 that are shave ready and I grab whatever looks good that day. Got these honed by others, not by me as I'm not quite ready to screw with a sharp, ready, razor yet. Been at this daily for the last two months with these and have not needed to mess with them yet. All still shave ready. I keep checking but they still stay sharp. Hoping some day to hone them but I'll keep waiting.

    I have 7 in rotation. Each one goes about 11 months between hones.
