I have been shaving with straights for couple of months now and I'm finally starting to learn something about shaving and razor maintenace.

I find it good to do a little touch up on a fine (12k) hone after about every 10 shaves. Each shave includes usually two passes. This seems to keep the bevel in good condition and I don't think I ever have to go to lower grits if I don't damage the razor in any way. Pasted strops I don't use, only leather/canvas before each shave and Naniwa 12k every now and then.

I'm a little curious about your honing routines. How many shaves (or passes) do you perform before you have to go to hone or pasted strop?
