Well, last month I decided to stop rotating razors and shave with a single professionally honed razor, brush and soap. Reason being that I was getting very varied results and I couldn't get my technique to work right.

Now my issue is the the shave is not close. I have little to no irritation but not sure what to do. Additional passes = cuts so not sure how to find right balance.

So I got wondering if I dulled it without knowing. Maybe rolled during stropping or something.

Or am I just a carpenter blaming his tools?
