So I after using my razor again tonight i think i lost my edge. It was able to split hairs but after stropping before hand and shave testing it was horrible compared to the first night. Im afraid that while stropping I bent the edge or some how lost it. Even laying my strop flat on a block of wood I can not get it to pass the hht test. Any suggestions on how to get it back. Also I dont have a finishing hone (4k 8k or chinese 12k) yet so should i just start using the newspaper method and just have patience.
