    Default Begineer unable to maintain shave ready edge

    Both my shave ready razors which were shave ready, have seen so little use (10 shaves each at most), but now not sharp enough to shave with. They were stropped before & after each shave (watched few videos for advice). Presuming they don't need honing already. Can't work out where I'm getting it wrong.

    Secondly, as I've bought couple of super cheap straight edges off ebay to practice honing, advice on what stone would also be great.
    Confused about what combination to buy for maintaining shave ready edge, and for honing. Thanks again for any help

    ps I have a 1000 grit Japanese stone available to borrow, but was unable to improve on edge using that.
