If you only have one razor there is one answer.
If you have half a dozen+ there is another answer.

The most satisfactory answer for most of the one or two
razor house is to send the blade out to a honemaster.
A honemaster will have a full range of hones and
experiences to bring almost any blade up to snuff.

I have found that film does fill a gap for those
that have knife sharpening tools and need to
take an edge or two to shave-able. At least
until such time that better kit is found.

A Norton 4k/8k or a Naniwa Super Stone 3k/8k Grit Combo Stone
is a good start.
