Hello Guys,

So I'm a newbie, been shaving with a straight for about 3-4 months now. And lately I have noticed that I have been dulling the blade.

What makes me think that is that it no longer cuts my girlfriend's hair when i hold it in the air whereas before it used to be able to do that.

Is that an indication of a dullness? I think it might be thugging but i'm not sure I would know to spot that feeling.

If so, is there something I can do to strop it better maybe on the canvas side, or does it certainly need to be rehoned?

Thanks!
