Doc's legendary and ongoing experiment on how long a blade will stay sharp without rehoning includes stropping on canvas and plain leather. Some time ago I suggested a similar experiment where he refrained from stropping in order to test how long it would take for the shave to get uncomfortable. I will offer myself to do this experiment. Now, I'm not Doc. I can certainly not hone like him and my shaving technique will certainly be inferior. So my results will not be comparable to his. Furthermore, in order to not allow any comparison, I will not use my TI. I'll start with a freshly honed blade. I've not decided yet which one. Probably my Filarmonica #14. I'll post details on the honing procedure once it's done. I will probably not be able to refrain from using other razors but hopefully this will be a short experiment. I'll keep you posted.
