I finish my honing on a coticule, and usually end up doing a few laps on the Chrome Ox paddle strop before putting a razor in my rotation.
I have come to the conclusion that my razors seem to improve with use and stropping (I give them 15 linen and 50 leather before each shave) and reach their peak somewhere between 5-10 shaves after honing.
Just curious, has any one else found this to be true? Is it just my honing isnt up to scratch?
Grant.
