This depends on her blades and what hollow she likes, but typically 20 to 40 hours is recommended to keep the"just sharpened feeling". The best way to determine if they need to be sharpened is to look at the blade if they are not uniformly "satin" looking they probably need to be sharpened.
If they are slipping then they are due for sharpening. You can also try the fingernail test: run your fingernail across the side of the blade. If the blade takes part of the cuticle off, it's still sharp.
