Thread: Shave Went from Good to Bad

The equipment that I have includes a Tony Miller #4 strop, a Tony Miller double-sided pasted bench strop with 1.0 and 0.5 micron pastes, a 4000 stone and an 8000 stone. Plus sandpaper in numerous grits up to about 2000.

I would guess that the problem is a rolled edge from stropping. You should be able to get the edge back with your pasted paddle. I would start with joshes instructions for refreshing and go from there.
