All of my razors are ready to go at anytime. And all of them are in the rotation. Whatever I’m in the mood for I go with. I’ve got favorites. But I try to remind myself that I bought each of them for a reason. And I haven’t sold them so they must still hold some value. So I will often pick one that hasn’t been used in a while. I’ve got one honing system that’s all synthetic. I’ve yet to have a razor that performed poorly on a synthetic and better on a natural. I keep it straight forward and simple. When I was buying more razors, if I came across one of those tricky to hone ones, I’d slap it on eBay, take what I could get for it, and move on.
