    Caveat: I'm just a newbie and not all that knowledgeable, but when after a month or two a couple of my razors (all honed by pros and done well) started to tug, I got a barber's hone (from one of the vendors here--already lapped) and after reading the simplest technique on using a hone in the wiki, found I was able to refresh the edge pretty good with about ten x strokes on the barber's hone. That and gradual improvements in my stropping technique have helped me refresh my edges pretty well. Eventually I'll need to send them out for re-honing but so far, so good.
