Why does the razor get burs?

Great thread guys!

It's time to hone my blades again and the pyramid just does not work. I can get the blades sharp to pop my arm hair but not as sharp as it was before. Is it because I don't have the coticule to finely polish them or what?

I'm thinking about taping the spines of both blades (because I don't want to wear them down) and hitting them hard on the 8k and the 4k like before. How does that sound?

If you use tape don't hit the hones too much at first, you might find just a few strokes are enough to wipe off any wire edge and create a sharp microbevel.

Thanks Rajagra; that's all it took and I'm back to my usual shave! I wonder if I'm letting my blades dull too much then
