On the assumption that I did dull my razor via a bad strop, how do I go about getting it back to being shave ready? Can it be straightened via canvas/leather stropping or does it need to be rehoned?

- It was "hot" shower
- brush face with just hot water
- strop
- brush face with just hot water again
- lather a small area, shave, lather a small area, shave, etc.

I should add that the angle I was shaving at was pretty much as flat to my face as possible but angle out until it would grab hair. I'm not sure if this was 30 degrees but it was certainly under 45.

Let me start off by saying that I am an occasional shaver, at best. My beard is not very thick but it's probably an 8 out of 10 on coarseness and grows fast enough that I have a shadow by 'noon'. ...
