well, ive read the wikis and what not, and ive got a good idea of what wet shaving is about, but i had a question on maintaining the razor:

I saw in the wiki that a blade will be shave ready for 15-50 shaves?
Does that mean you will need a new blade after that, need to get it honed again, or just resharpen the blade?
I mean if the razor is shave ready, does that mean as long as you strop it every so often that it will never need to be honed agian?

Also, what size blade seems to be the most popular?
I saw the wiki said to get a 6/8, but i dont want to spend money on something that is going to do me no good.

Sorry last question, but what does it mean in the classifieds that a razor is in good condition compared to excellent?
Is it talking about blade, handle, etc?

Thanks in advance for any and all answers.
