Of course. My filarmonicas, for whatever reason, seem to go forever without needing a touch up, even with my beard/skin. But glad to hear the consensus that beard/skin is a factor! I think I'm gravitating to regular very brief, light touch ups on my finishing hone to keep the blade hungry and keep the doctor away.

Then again, with now 30 razors in rotation, who knows how long I'm really going between shaves with any particular razor!
