somewhere between 12 and 15 uses

That sounds about right. But it makes me wonder whether recommending straight razors to people who don't want to hone themselves in mean 😬

Luckily, Koraats have among the most durable edges I know.

I have not taken data on this, but I’m convinced that a well formed edge will last 60-70 shaves if a loaded strop (Cr2O3) is used every 10 shaves or so in addition to regular stropping with every shave.
