been straight shaving for about a month and I'm doing pretty good. surpringly good, actually

still not getting a really close shave right at my jawbone (?), where my cheek curves and turns into my neck.

just doing WTG shaves at this point.

also, when do I know when my razor needs honning. I just got my norton 4k/8k and want to give it a try. My razor is doing well with just stropping and then using the rough side of the strop with the green paste every 4 to 5 shaves.\, but I want to learn to hone
