I have a new Dove that is still shaving great after 7 months.Once a month it gets 10 laps on .5 diamond/wool,then 5 laps on .5 CrOx/rough leather,to smooth the edge.My other razor is an Imperial that is still working good after 8 months.Once a month it gets 10 laps on CrOx/rough leather.

I would say give it a try and see what your results are.Can't hurt to try!
