    I agree . The best way to keep an edge sharp , is not to let it get dull in the first place . When one of my razors feels like it's not quite as sharp as it should be , I give the whole rotation a touch up .

    Had the same problem last month...Strop it till you can't strop no more? I am now getting better shaves and less stubble in the neck area from doing it. Good Luck

    With 25+ shaves under your belt technique is most likely not an issue. After three passes there should be no stubble at all. Touch it up on a hone or try a few passes of the paste of your choosing.

    I know how it feels to have a degrading shave. Earlier today I had my first shave where the razor needed to be honed, man it was brutal, I should have stopped.
