Thread: Too short an interval between refreshes?

I have two razors I shave with every Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday I only have leather but wipe the blade off with tissue and micro cloth, then 40 before use & 60 - 80 after depending on my mood. I will give them 5 - 10 passes on Crox & Irox once a month and then a touch-up every six months on welsh slate. Having said that I am pedantic about my edge, it has to be bang on for me, I could reasonably go without the pastes and just touch up every 6.

Razors do differ and some could very well need more frequent refreshing while some can go for months. In general I think you should be able to get at least 20 shaves before you notice the slightest deterioration. I would check those edges carefully.You might reevaluate your stropping and refreshing regime.
