    The answer is "it depends" but it does seem that the edge lasts for shorter duration with new users than with the experienced who can maintain & use the razor carefully.

    If you're not sure of your stropping a few hours prior practice may have saved you grief. Rust & shaving at too high an angle can also influence edge longevity. Some makes are softer steel & will not hold an edge a long time. The TI should be fine in that department.
