I asked the seller, and he told me it was honed few month ago!

Ssrgeant, I am about 5 hours away from you. I know that doesn't help much but if your willing to travel, heck, I'm always up for a good motorcycle trip. But on the other hand, Lynn is about 3 hours West of you in Cape Girardeu MO and I know he could give you a few pointers. A quick search and I found DennisBarberShop, a member here for some time. He is in Richmond KY just south of Lexington, give him a holler and see what turns up.

I suppose it comes down to how many shaves the blade has seen since honing or touching up. Might just need to be touched up to bring it back

Gents! thanks a lot for your input! I think I have found the best answer! I'll send my razor to be honed by a pro, get a super stone for refreshing and paste for touch ups!
