Thread: I'm doing EVERYTHING wrong. Please help.

You could have rolled the edge stropping it, or not be stropping correctly to maintain a shave ready edge. Either way it's not shave ready now..

You can either work on honing it yourself or send it away. The preferred thing to do would be send it.

You did do the right thing by seeking help. Don't get discouraged the nice gents on this forum will help you and set you on the right path. It happens to the best of us.

Since your shaves were degrading gradually over a few days I want to say it's a stropping issue but there's no way to be certain. It could have happened when you used the 8k the other day.

I wish you luck and will be watching this thread with interest.
