Hi All,

Made a really silly beginner's mistake. I was rinsing my week old straight razor over the sink and accidentally bumped the blade against the faucet. The blade (near the heel, shiny part of the edge on the picture) has a ding in it. My question is whether I need to send it out to get honed again or whether I can just keep shaving with it? I tried stropping it with no change (30 round trips on linen, 70 on my synthetic leather strop from the Well Shaved Gentleman :-) ). I have been having a lot of difficulty regardless as this is my first straight razor so I'm not sure that I would be able to "feel" if there is a problem. Thanks.
