I suppose it depends on how many SRs you have in rotation, I also know JS about Straight razors when compared to Billy!I had always heard that a SR will need to be resharpened anywhere between 3 & 6 mos. Of course, I don't know Jack Schitt about SR's.
I Hit Mine on Paste around Every 4/5 Shaves or So as Part of a Maintenance Routine..So its Just Part of Normal Stropping So To Speak..I Maintain them Sharp Rather than Let them Dull..I Dont Really View it as a Refresh Although Some Might..Just a Normal Part of Stropping is All..I had always heard that a SR will need to be resharpened anywhere between 3 & 6 mos. Of course, I don't know Jack Schitt about SR's.
Of Course Paul..I suppose it depends on how many SRs you have in rotation, I also know JS about Straight razors when compared to Billy!P.
