Thread: What's your toughest razor to maintain?

Ladies and Gentlemen

Of all my razors the one that's easiest to maintain is my Le Coultre frameback - this is a razor you can hone by speaking to it nicely. I've sharpened three of the five blades it came with. and probably didn't spend more than a total of ninety minutes on them.

On the other hand the Greaves 7/8ths wedge my wife gave me for my birthday two years ago has been, shall we say, a labour of love? It gives me a decent shave these days, but it's spent alot of time on the honing bench and has been dropped back in the drawer more times than I can count.

I've heard it said, here and elsewhere, that wedges are the most difficult to hone, and I suppose my experience bears that out, but I do like the challenge, and maybe that Le Coultre is just a little too easy.

How about you guys? What's your easiest razor, and what's your most difficult?
