Thread: Retouching a razor

After a few months of regular razor shaving the edge becomes a bit dull so I have to pass it from my hones.
Usually, I perform a pyramid according to Lynn with my Norton 4/8K combo and then I finish in the C12K.

But is this always necessary?
Do I have to go down to 4K every 4- 6 months to retouch the edge?

If I only made some passes to the 8K and then finishing to the Chinese wouldn’t that be enough?


How do you retouch your razor when you feel it became dull?
