Not sure what you are mowing but my blades have lasted 20+ yrs. I dress them several times a year.
I probably should have mentioned the blades are only used for lawn care, not something aggressive.
The reason for thinking about soaking is to work smarter, not harder.

I mow about 3 acres of my own and another acre of my neighbors.
some is sparse in places and it is sandy soil in places.
What really cleans them up is mulching leaves/ small sticks in the fall.
I do buy generic blades like Winsor or Oregon.
20 years?? interesting to say the least.
My wear mostly is when the "lift wing" wears off completely, and disappears,
then they vibrate excessively and no longer lift the grass to cut well.
