Thanked: 2209A wooden matchstick is used to remove a wire edge (hopefuly). Sometimes it works and sometimes not.
Backing down the sharpness of a blade is difficult. So far the only thing that has worked for me is to use the wooden matchstick technique. It is very simple, just run the razor across the matchstick using a gentle pressure. To find out the results you will have to test shave. I would perform 20 laps on the 0.5 micron before shaving.
I hope other's will post some ideas. It does sound like the razor is over honed even if you cannot see the wire edge.
