Thread: New razor's edge ruined on second shave.

I recently got a new DOVO blade sharpened by Lynn. My first shave with it as I commented in another post was overall positive, comfortable and fairly close. Last night, when I went to shave, I decided to do a few passes on the linen strop on my Illinois razor strop before I hit the leather. Bad idea. I used the same technique on the linen as on the leather (no pressure, blade flat on the strop, rolling it over along the back.) Boy was I suprised when the linen left the razor with a jagged edge. The razor was still sharpen enough to get a close shave, but the shave was painful and I couldn't even do against the grain for fear fo cutting myself. Has anyone else had this experience, or any experienced user with any advice on how to smooth out the edge and keep it sharp? I've got some pictures of the edge after the linen attached.

Thanks - Evan
