Thank you all for the advice.

AFDavis11 I found your video on stropping and it has probably saved me months worth of trial and error.

I slowed down my stropping method and realized I was curling my wrist after the razor flip causing uneven pressure/contact. I practiced the movements of the razor flip and tried it on some newspaper, about five laps, then hit the leather. The blade felt much better, but still not what it was.

I have a second strop arriving tomorrow (I hope) and some paste I may try if another go at the news paper doesn't bring it back to life.
