Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the site.

Its hard to believe you've been shaving 25 years with that kind of edge maintainance. My first recommendation is to read all the help files here. After that you might want to modify your stropping techniques depending on what they are. I would probably send the blades out to one of the honemeisters here for sharpening so you'll know what a really sharp blade is like. I would definately get the Norton and start practicing with that.

Having shaved so long using bad techniques is probably a bad deal because now you might have to relearn things that have become second nature to you.

We could probably write pages of suggestions to you but after you read everything give us some specifics and we'll be glad to answer them.
