I personally would try sharpening it like a yanagi... i.e stone on a table holding the razor 'handle'/neck in your right hand using your left on the blade to steady it and make sure you're getting even strokes along the edge. Both leading and trailing strokes, at least to begin with. Finshing just with leading strokes though. And maybe try stropping briefly just on one or two sheets of paper on a hard surface.

(None of that is based in any kind of experience in honing that kind of razor, so probably won't work at all! But from the look of it that's what I'd try.)
TY sir!

That’s pretty much what I do on most everything. And it isn’t working on this one, ROFL! But it may not be the technique as much as just learning how to hone such an odd razor.

It may also be that although my indicators are good the bevel is not quite set the way that it should be (imagine that). That’s not uncommon in my experience, a lot of times I want to minimize wear and cosmetic damage on nice old razors. A re-hone should answer that question.

The edge also did not improve, or diminished with stropping as tested by HHT, except with palm stropping at the base of my little finger.

I welcome a challenge and apparently got one.
