    If your razor was shave ready then dulliing by normal use can be remedied with a 12K. However if the edge got damaged (rust, chip) you need a coarser hone, do pyramids etc.

    +1 ... the 12k might be all it needs. Here is the honing tutorial in the SRP Wiki. You might want to take a look at it just for a refresher.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
