I do something very similar to what AFDavis11 posted but with much less empirical steps. I just kind of adjust it here or there to see if the edge comes back; if not, I move it to the "to hone" pile, and get another razor from the collection.

I do 15 to 20 on linen and 30 to 40 on leather. If it pulls, I go to the diamond spray. If it does not work, I switch razors and deal with the problem later ;-)
Al raz.

Change Leading Stropping Passes
I was in this feeling once. I started toe-first instead of heel-first stropping. There is a marked difference in draw doing this. For me there has been improvement in shave quality since I alternate toe-first/ heel-first stropping always now. Do be careful doing this! There is a chance of strop nicking at starting stoke. My IXL really loves this change. Whatever stropping you do, Just Strop MORE! It worked well for me. Robert
