I have to confess that I don't get my Bows re-haired as often as I should and never have. I have gone years on my main bows now and back in my earlier days as well. I just seem to get used to the Bow and wait till the last minute. I had a re-hair recently on my Eibert Sartory model. The hair on there was about 7 years old or more. My Lipkins Sartory needs a re-hair as well but just can't seem to let it out of my hands to get it done. The Lipkins hair is 4 years old. My old Sartory may have had 1 or 2 re-hairs in 15 years that I can recall back in my early days.
Like the saying goes, 'do as I say, not as I do'. Get re-hairs as needed even if you have to ship the bow out to do so.
