K. So, I checked it out with my small microscope and I didn't see anything odd. I did notice that it looked like some of the microscopic pieces of metal weren't exactly straight towards the toe of the razor. Could this be some of the problem with it not feeling as sharp on that end? I took it and stropped it again very slow and methodically and will try to shave with it again tomorrow. Do I need to wait at least 24 hours to shave with it again. Can it be overstropped. Thanks guys!
