Thread: ATG Great - WTG OK - Why?

G'day Elendil, I'd recommend sending it out for a fresh honing. Now, do you have a second straight? Preferably something for practising on. I'd recommend having a second razor, and that's advice coming from a minimalist razor owner.
Like me, you will have yet to come to your full potential with honing/stropping skills and developing that feather light touch required for the truly sharp blade.
Poor shaving technique will be playing a part in it too. I've experience an incredibly poor shave from an even more incredibly sharp razor, due entirely to credibly poor technique.
You're probably past that stage by now and can gain a reasonable shave with out too much issue, but have trouble with some areas or angles. Poor angles will add a little to dulling the edge, and I hope you're not doing the TPT just before a shave and after stropping. It won't help the edge at all.
There are much more qualified people here than me. They will be able to give you the best advice. Just start off with a fresh Pro honing.
I understand the desire to be self sufficient with it all though, to me that is a big part of using a straight...Take it slow, no pressure, and on another razor.
