    I agree, learn to strop.

    Unfortunately stropping is not as easy as it appears and nothing like you see on TV or in the Movies. It only takes lifting the spine a fraction before you stop moving the blade, one time to damage the edge and that will remove a layer of skin leaving you face red and raw.

    Dollars to Wantons that is what happened.

    Buy you self some inexpensive magnification, as little as 2-3 dollars and look at the edge as described in this video.

    .

    If the edge is damaged it will need to be repaired and the extent of the damage will determine the extent of repair.

    It does take some time to learn to strop, and you need to learn to strop to maintain your razor.

    I am a bit far from you, but if damaged I would be happy to re hone it for you, PM me if you are interested.
