first time honing. now I need someone to sharpen my razors

[kaiyen]

Hi all,
Looks like I have to send my razors to have them sharpened after my failed effort.

I tried honing mine yesterday as both have become a bit dull. This morning, the blade sounds like it's cutting hair, but nothing. Thumb nail test indicates it's got a bevel, but it's just not cutting.

Started all over again tonight, from 220 to 1000 to 4000 to 8000 to some crystal spray to a lot of stropping. Still not right.

I'm just not sure what I did wrong. I guess I'll have to send them out...
