    If it has never shaved well I would assume the bevel wasn’t quite set, or if a recent restore the edge may be a little rotten. Pretty easy to tell, if you get any glinting off the where the edge should be that’s pretty tell tale. If all you have is a 12k I’d use it as an excuse to get a 4/8k combo.

    If you are familiar with any members near by that hone, that would be the best. It looks like the last 1/3 is pretty rough. I am guessing it needs a full progression. If you are very content to continue to touchbup and maintain your edges, send it out. You have enough razors you could wait until there is a meet that you would like to attend.
