I'm curious if any of you go back to the hone 6 months or so after initially honing your razor(s). Have you stuck with razor to see how long it would take before it needed the hone?
BTW I don't use pastes or chrome oxide much less barber hone ( used SWATY couple times but that's it ).
Iwasaki
15.5 shaves and 2 head shaves ( foolhardy I know that's what Size 2 is for but don't have it ).
Tsugeru Kanetaka S2
8 shaves 4 head shave
I was comparing the Iwasaki to others hence the fraction.
Rogers Special
7 head shaves first run
8 head shaves second run
I don't know how this would translate to regular shaving since I haven't had any straight that needed to be honed as I've been rotating them but also predominantly using Japanese razors.
