I should start this with, I've only been using a SR for 4 months now. Haven't honed anything, but I haven't needed to, until about a month ago. I noticed that my razors were beginning to pull a little so I bought/used the .5 chromium oxide spray on a felt paddle and the result was excellent! I was feeling pretty good about myself and thought this was pretty easy, what are people complaining about! Fast forward a few weeks - I noticed the razors were beginning to pull again, so I went back to the oxide for a few passes; only this time, the results were terrible! It actually made them worse! They went from a slight pull to barely cutting and BBS was out of the question.

I used the same felt w/spray without applying a new coat of spray. I added another coat last night and I'm going to give it another try tonight, but does anyone have advice or a thought on what I did wrong?
