Is it your only razor ? What I did early on was have a few pro honed razors that I shaved with, and some old (good condition) razors that I learned to hone with. I would use the pro honed razors to compare my own honing. If you cannot see the chips with the naked eye a touch up on a 10 or 12k hone might refresh the edge enough to get a decent shave. If you can see them without magnification you would probably need to start with a 4k or so. If you're going to hone it use a piece of electrical tape on the spine. Watch some honing vids and don't be heavy handed.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
