    Granted, I have 20 some razors in my rotation, but it's been well over 3yrs since I've had to take one of them to a hone or paddle for a touchup. Even then it was only 10 laps on CroOx, otherwise it's just plain linen and leather before each shave
    Can't speak for anyone else but I am doing it as an experiment. Just for the fun of it and so far it has done no damage and seems to actually have gotten smoother and I also strop afterwards. Just my 2¢ of whats workin'

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
