Thread: Do you ever feel like you're getting worse at shaving?

Unfortunately, about 90% of the problems guys have are related to the sharpness or smoothness of the razor. The best solution is a touch-up honing on stone. You might try doing several laps on leather with the spine raised a 1/8 of an inch and see if that helps a little.

Also be careful with the resultant skin damage if you keep using a dulling blade. Once there is skin damage even a perfect edge can exasperate the problem. You might be forced to take a break.
