At times but only when I am test shaving the razor after honing. I try to keep it to four or under but there are time when the freshly honed razors start to pile up and I need to make the best use of my beard so I shave will shave with as many as I can to get a good evaluation of the complete edge. I can't really get to enjoy the razor when shaving like this but I do get a good edge evaluation of the entire blade length.
