Sorry, but I've frequently seen comments that a razor should be sharp for a couple of months before honing. This is even in the instruction sheet with the Dovo razor I bought.

It should be obvious, however, that time is not the issue, usage is. Letting a razor sit in a drawer for a year will not make it dull.

If you use a razor every day, "a couple of months" would translate into 60 shaves.

All I did was translate the usual advice into the right units.

I will agree that others do not seem to count shaves rather than time.
