Thread: How Many Hones Does A Beginner Need ?

The short answer is that a barber's hone will keep a razor going for as long as you find the shave it gives you acceptable. When the barber's hone no longer recovers the edge to acceptable keenness (your face will let you know), it will be time to have the razor honed again.

There are so many variables, no one can tell you how long that will be.
