I spent about 4 hours straight working my way up to the 8000 then going down to the 1000 when I wasn't getting results, It just continued to remain dull.
So I decided to try a different method. I simply just placed the blade on the hone and went up an down flipping the blade like you would doing the x pattern. It only took about 20 minutes and I was able to get a sharp edge. Shaving was smooth and I was so glad I got my razor back to where it was after all that time! So, does anybody here sharpen there razor like that?
