    I assume the better you prep the longer your edge will last.

    Yes, prep matters but so do the factors listed above Every razor and every beard is different!
    When I first started out I was only getting a handful of shaves due to poor stropping technique. I don't count now, but I am pretty sure I am over 30 shaves on certain blades with no loss in shaving quality. The longer you use a straight, the longer your blades will go.
