With stropping only, I can bring that razor back to HHT sharpness. That's how I was answering the question.

If the question was "can a dull or damaged razor be made HHT sharp by stropping alone" I would have answered probably not. Although I might consider it possible only after inspecting the razor and even giving it a try.

It looks like we do agree. Thanks for clarifying this.
