Help before I melt a blade
A question for the smoother of you all out there. I have a 5/8 Wadsworth "XLNT" spike that I've shaved with 3 times. I've honed it twice, trying to get a good shave. It's a full hollow. 4 days ago I honed and used it and had a pretty good shave (not like I get with my other blades, however), today I stropped it up and shredded my face. Just irritated the hell out of myself. The blade passes every test except the shave test really well. I keep my angle about a spine's-width away and run all three passes. So, because I have neither the time nor the patience to run it through two honing pyramids every time I use it, I wonder if there are easier solutions, and if you all have any ideas? Thanks.
