Hello all,

I have a Torrey starter razor ("Our Beauty", I think), which I've had for about a year and half or so. Noticing it was losing its edge, I sent it off to be honed back in August, and was satisfied with the results. I also went ahead and purchased a Chinese waterstone to use as a barber's hone for "touch-up" every few weeks. I strop regularly before each shave, and store it outside of my bathroom.

However, despite all of this, my razor seems to be getting progressively duller, to the point that it doesn't even really shave that well anymore. Since it seems like most people only need to send their razor to get honed every year or two, I figure I'm doing something wrong- but I'm not entirely sure what. If anyone has any suggestions for what it might be, and how I can fix what I'm doing, please let me know.

Thanks!
