nun2sharp,
That is pretty much the reassurance I am looking for . I really don't want to maintain a fleet of razors, so that I can rotate them out to "honemasters". Not to mention the risk of loss...

Well I can put a decent edge on knife with a whetstone, but can do a really nice scary sharp edge with a sharpmaker from Spyderco. So I guess I wouldn't be classified as a master honer by any means....

Yep, my answer was indeed in wiki. Was thinking though if I treated it like a knife and touched it up on a more frequent basis on a finish stone before it gets dull, would this do the trick?

Just wondering how often a straight razor has to be honed? If I buy a shave ready razor and strop how often should it have to be re-honed.
