    My Red Iinjun hasn't seen a hone in about 70 shaves now and its next bad shave will be the first. Of course it seems like I hone a lot less often than the majority of guys here.

    A lot of this depends on the quality and frequency of your stropping as well; improper stropping can cause the blade to dull prematurely. I would say an average 2-4 month window before a touch up; I use a fine grit pasted strop on mine when they start to tug a bit.
