I’ve been using traditional straights for a year and a half now: I hone my own, but the thing is, I switch between everything. I use single edge, double edge, injectors, Shavettes, traditional straights and my CJB Kamasori.
I used to switch every other shave between safety razor and straight edge but for awhile now I’ve been splitting the month into 2 parts.
The 1st 2 week period I’ll use my SE’s, DE’s, injectors etc
The last 2 weeks I’ll use my Shavettes, straights, and kamasori
Doing it this way seems like it’ll take forever for my straight razors to need a touch up. it’s already been a year and a half, and I only touched them up on Chrom oxide one time just for fun and it didn’t even need it at the time! I miss honing, and don’t really feel like killing an edge for no reason.
If I used my theirs Issard wolf and sheep every 2 days or so I’m sure after 4 months it’ll start pulling lol
But I like to use everything
