Thread: refresh the edge

Hi

I've been shaving with my dovo honed by lynn for nearly 2 months now.
On the last few shaves I've noticed the blade starting to pull especially on the chin.

What would be a good way to refresh the edge??

I have a .25 and .5 diamond compound drying on a paddle strop as I write this.
How many strokes would be good to get the edge back to its former sharpness.

I noticed quite a few people recommend against the .25 paste as it makes the edge to brittle. Would it be better to only use the .5??????

Thanks

Strop 20 strokes with the .5 then clean the blade and go to your plain hanging strop then shave. If it does not suit you do 20 strokes on the .25. Make sure you always clean the blade before going to the next step.

Thanks for the advice. I will try that as soon as the paste dries.

2 months just stropping on leather - not bad at all

Cheers
