I will report back on what I manage to come up with (or if I throw it out the window).
Did you actually get two decent shaves with it? If you did, that would be my same complaint. You should be able to hang on to an edge a lot longer than two shaves. My Hart falls down rather quickly and thats why I ask. If/when I get a reply from Hart, i'll let you know what they say. As I stated, I'm not an expert at honing but I have been able to get a decent edge for most of my razors one way or another. This razor has no obvious problems like warping or an uneven grind. It makes good contact with the stone but does not do what I expect it to. Eh, we'll see what comes of my email. If nothing comes of it, I'll remove it from the rotation and continue to tell my wife that its my favorite anyway.
