    I can get 10-15 shaves. Problem is that I love honing and I have a butt load of finishers. Add to that I don't keep a record of what I finished a blade on so, unless it was recent and I remember I just ...finish again. It doesn't take long and it is always a fresh edge and I get to enjoy the, "This blade is really better with a trans edge than a thuri," outcome. I find honing kind of cathartic and it is the place I go to when I need the do something repetitive and think.

    However, in a case like yours I would recommend a CrOx pasted canvas strop. It can prolong and edge for a long time. Probably months but I haven't had just 2 for... years?... decades maybe? I would give it a whirl.
