Interestingly, none of the old farmers and ranchers I knew when I was a kid in rural east Texas had more than one straight razor at a time, and they sharpened their razors themselves. The idea of someone else sharpening thier razors was completely unheard of. Also, they didn't spend any time fussing over honing technique.
They just wanted to get 'er done, they had vegi-tables to pick, and pigs to slit from ear to ear, cows too
