Looking for a little advice
Ok...first off I have a full hollow 5/8" DOVO I got from SRD late last December and have been shaving roughly every other day since. My guess is I've used it for around 25 shaves. Now I have a pretty thick beard, particularly around the lip and chin areas but also around the neck area below the chin.
Now I've noticed that when shaving said thicker areas the blade pulls or jumps. I have to go over the area a couple of times to make sure I don't miss any spots. This never used to happen. The other areas though are fine and the shave seems to go well.
I've generally been careful and haven't nicked the strop, faucet or anything. I wish I could post a video of me stropping the razor to get comments on my technique but I have no way to record one. Also, it's my only shave ready razor so I have nothing to compare it to.
I guess my questions are these: Might my razor need a honing? I hear that generally you should only need to send the razor out for that a few (say 3?) times a year? It's only been two months for me...might I be doing something wrong? Or am I just imagining things?
Any help/input/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT: FYI every shave I strop 30x webbed fabric 50x leather with my SRD 3in Latigo before the shave and 30x leather after. Is that enough/not enough?
