Yes if you have two good razors.
No if you have a 52 razor rotation.
And if you have a good shaver it is possible to
keep it shaving for years with a nice fine hone
perhaps one from this list of man mades:
Nanawa 12K
Sigma 13k
Shapton Glass 16k
Naniwa Chosera 10k
I do want to make the point that honing
a dull eBay razor is a different project
than day in and day out shaving.
I should also flesh out the budget cautious
side of things with lapping film from the
likes of Woodcraft.com
Pinnacle Honing Film 14", Assorted (3)
15micron == about 1200 grit
5 micron == about 5k
0.3 micron == about 12k
A $10 pack of film and a flat granite tile base or glass
will hone one or two razors. The 15 micron
might last for two razors, the 5 micron for
three, the 0.3 micron will polish six or so, in
my experience.
