Thread: Felt Stropping with Diamond spray

Fairly new guy here (about 4 months of shaving with straight). I have a very heavy beard, and have to shave at least 5 days a week for work. I have been trying to use my barber's hone as I have been having sharpness issues for a few weeks. I just received my hard felt strop and .25 diamond spray. I put a couple of light coats on the felt, let it dry, and stropped my razor about 25 laps. This was a shave ready razor that I have been using for about the last 3 months. It has been loosing its edge and I have given it a couple of trips over the barber's hone. The hone worked ok, so, I decided to try the spray, and it dulled it even more than it was. Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I did wrong? Carlo
