It's been a few months of use, abuse, and learning (we all know what bad stropping does to an edge) since my razor was honed. I now have a great TM strop and a Keen Kutter barber hone.... but in spite of careful honing and stropping, I just can't get the razor popping hairs like it used to. It's better than before I started.... but not much.
I feel like growing a beard. *grumble*
On the plus side... I think I found an Escher or similar in our knife drawer. More to follow.
