I have 6 razors shave ready and 5 or so waiting for the stones. I hone one, shave 3 or 4 times in a week then bring it back to the hones to improve it or slap some oil on it and move to the next one. Once I am satisfied with those I have, I will take one or two and see how long a honing lasts for me. Although restores just seem to crop up here and there. I only truely want 3 more razors and maybe a couple customs, waaaay down the road.
