I would bet that you may have rounded the edge when you were stropping. I know this because I did it when I started with a straight. Called SRD and bought a modular strop. Almost impossible to round an edge on that when stropping. All you should need if your razor is professionally honed is a touch up on a stone after a couple of months. I use either a Shapton 16k or a Suehiro Gokumyo to refresh. 8k is to course for a touch up unless you have a lot of experience. Only about 5-7 laps on a finishing stone should do it with almost no pressure. It will work out.
