    If the edge was fine for the first two shaves or so, then felt slightly worse with each shave; I suspect understropping.

    If you felt the razor suddenly get worse after a stropping then the edge may be rolled.

    Use smooth confident strokes on your strop. Keep shaving but stick to one pass on the easy parts only. Finish with another razor.

    Honing is another bag. Use a variety of tests at all stages. Keep strokes light and consistent.

    If you want a razor honed free just let me know.
