@ScoutHikerDad... that's pretty much where I'm at now. With the exception of the dinging of my 5/8 on the sink and having to send it off for honing, I've not had to do anything with my 6/8 besides...

I've been buying my razors from SRD, so Lynn has honed them all. Besides needing a CrOX touch up, they're all as shave ready as I can imagine. After stropping they'll easily grab/cut hairs on my...

@razorfeld... you're not joking! Only been on this site for a few months, and met some amazing people. Loving the shaves, and loving the people even more.

@razorfeld - I'm actually here till the 17th, so no worries. I can't even begin to say thanks enough!

@HNSB - this is what I'm thinking as well. I dinged a razor on the sink and had to send it to Lynn for honing, but I'm now thinking that just something like a 12k might be a good starting point for...

@Substance... this is kind of my question. I'm already using CrOX occasionally, and am wondering how often you need to reset the bevel on a shave ready razor. Would something like a 12k touch up ...

At some point I'm going to have to start honing... the question I've been struggling with is how best to start. If you have a truly shave ready razor, is it best to start with something like a...
