Also you are not obligated to hone or learn to hone. If you have just a few razors in rotation it is way cheaper to send them out. There is a variety of means to refresh an edge and keep it going a little longer.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

I hone every time I get a new stone/Razor.... so every week. But I made a survey about how often people hone and it seems it was averaging around 20-40 shaves with some getting 80+ and others honing after 10 shaves.
Steel can Ben a factor. Your face should let you know when to re hone. After you have experience I would say you want at least 10 shaves. But first few edges you use might not
