Nicks on the leading edge

Recently I noticed a couple of very tiny nicks on the leading edge of one of my razors - don't know how they got there. The razor still shaves fine. Should I try to hone them out immediately or not worry excessively (OCD) about it until the next time I need to hone the razor?

It's up to you. Over the years I've gradually gotten less anal retentive about such things, nowadays I tend not to fret about it unless they affect the shave significantly.

If they can't be felt, I wouldn't worry about it until next time the razor needs to be honed.

Im not quite as experianced, and most of my razors are not pristine. however, what im imagining are certainly something i would hone out.

If it isn't bothering you now, leave it like it is. When you hone it, don't stop until the edge is completely smooth.

if you cant feel it when you shave, its not there
