Back in the day it was said that the #1 reason for a honed razor not being "there" was an inadequate bevel set. The foundation of the rest of the job. Perhaps check your bevel set. Not saying that is definitely the source of the problem, but I've found that starting from square one has worked for me with problem razors in the past.

The 1961 barber manual recommends stropping on leather only following honing. I don't recall a specific number of round trips, but I might do 30 or 50 ....... whatever. Speaking with Lynn not long ago, he does linen/leather following honing. I don't recall the number of passes. I started following suit, usually 50/50, but it is a matter of experimenting. All of this honing stuff is trail and error IME.
