Thanks for all the welcome greetings.
Eddy79, I have not had it professionally honed. The cost of honing would be close to 1/2 the cost of the razor, so I'm thinking I should upgrade anyway. I have been getting better results, so I'm hoping my methods of honing, stroking and/or shaving are improving. I'm getting closer shaves, but my face feels raw. Hopefully it will all come together.
