well I have a 4/8 combo, so I could reset the bevel but I haven't quite mastered the technique. If I can't make it work, I have a free SRD honing that came with the razor that I'll use instead.

My common sense tells me that it doesn't need it. The razor does cut hair without pulling, it's just rough and leaves my neck irritated. It also doesn't have the smooth glide it did when I first took it to the 8k...or when I got it from SRD.

Keep in mind though that my common sense isn't founded in the straight razor world, so grain-of-salt and all that...
