One of these razors was sent to me by PaulFLUS from here on SRP, the other is a Dovo Razor that I got sharpened by a local in my city. Both of them were sharpened to brand new condition in early 2021.

Long story short, I got sick and barely touched either of these for about 1.5 years, maybe 2-3 shaves each. Now neither of them will cut a piece of hair anywhere on the blade. If I take a hair off my head and drag it all the way down the blade, it comes off unscathed basically.

I have a 1k stone, 4k/8k naniwa stone, and a 3 micron cloth polishing wheel, as well as microscopes to look at edges with. I have no idea if they just dulled this much by existing for 1.5 years, or if they got rolled on a strop, or something similar, but if I needed to I could probably take a look at the edge with a microscope and see.

I have essentially no useful experience with sharpening razors. I had a zoom session with gssixgun about 2 years ago, but have never been able to get a useable edge on my own so far (haven't tried in a long time, though) so I'm more or less re-learning from scratch now.

Where should I start with restoring the edge on these razors?
