It all depends on your stropping skill. Unfortunately you have to learn to strop, to maintain a razor. As your stropping technique improves, so too will your edges and time between honing.
Some of us have stropped on paste daily with the same razor for over a year, with no degradation of the edge.
The trick is stropping and learning the skill, it does take some practice and a decent strop. Plain leather and linen can keep you shaving for a long time.
Stropping can improve or maintain an edge… and just as quickly ruin one.
