I think the majority of straight razor users hone their own razors. However thought I would throw up a quick poll to see. I think it could be good for anyone looking into straights to see what the majority is doing as well.

Agreed, fully.Yep. Self sufficiency is a big part of the draw.
Solid perspectiveI don't think it matters, really.
Everyone should just do what they want without worrying about the popular vote.
Some start out sending out, then wind up honing their own.
Some start out trying to hone but wind up sending out.
Any way someone chooses to go is as good as any other way.
The only time I would be able to put this in practice is during Summer downtime or when the kiddos move on to Uni.
I know it sounds bad, but I'm too damn busy as a fulltime father of teens and managing a team of engineers on the East Coast (US) and on the West here in SoCal and Oregon.
I have 5 currently which are in need of being honed, but my rotation is deep enough that I can extend comfortably beyond 2Y without sacrificing my shave quality. It helps to have a local B&B Honemeister literally one county away when I need to send out.
