If you refreshed the razor when it just starts pulling, it would only take a few swipes on a Swaty. You might have to do it a lot more often than once a month, but you could avoid real honing indefinitely.

I suspect that in the long run you need to hone off a certain amount of material for a certain amount of use, so it might come out even. But I have to tell you that the quick, little refreshing shots take seconds, not 15 minutes. I would have to do about 50-60 a month to take a total of 15 minutes. I'm nowhere near that. I can usually use a razor 4-6 times before It feels like it needs refreshing.
