Thanked: 522All of the above opinions are definitely noteworthy and valid by virtue of the long experience that formed them. I particularly agree with the theory that overhoning is a prime culprit.
I am also an inveterate stropper from way back and I know from experience that a proper stropping can fine-tune most blades.
I have found that a hanging felt strop with diamond spray can prolong the life of an edge when you don't have time to hone it. A Hess HairMilk linen side strop, if you can find one, is also a definite asset when the razor begins to pull a bit during a shave. I have a spartan grade Larry Andro leather strop treated with Dovo Black paste that can revitalize a waning edge.
We all have our preferred method of dressing up a razor edge and sharing that method helps us all. Thanks for sharing.....
