Linen stropping effect on honing intervals
I've heard that some folks can go months between needing hones just by using the linen (and leather) to maintain the edge. I have also heard that using the linen too much unnecessarily wears the edge beyond what is optimal and deviates too far away from the original bevel. I tend to like the shave resulting from incorporating a few passes on untreated linen in my stropping routine. If I use it daily should I expect to need more or fewer touch-ups on the hone?
