Thread: What is your touch-up routine?

Worn edge with sound bevels, Shapton Glass HR 3k or HR 4k -> Shapton Glass HC 8k, JNat.

Refreshing a shaving edge, Shapton Glass 8k -> JNat.

Started years ago with maintenance instead of waiting around to hone,, razor I use the most, maybe 5 shaves, I do 3-5 ultra light laps on my Nani 12k dry. It just keeps going for years. I truly believe I improve my edges with stropping. Once learned it’s a game changer, more new guys should focus on it than jumping in thinking I got to hone I got to get more stones, I’m down to 1 stone that 12k , if I need more it’s cheaper to send it out, plus if your honing all the time maybe the edges or technique ain’t right, or you restore allot for sale. But maintaining keeps that edge like a laser all the time and doesn’t take a minute

Suddenly I realised what the problem is. I do a WTG pass under my nose. Right under my nose the angle of the blade with the skin is almost 90 degrees. I must have rolled the edge. As I use a pasted strop before every shave it took a while for the problem to become apparent. From now on I'll skip the WTG pass.
