i did something i didnt think was possible i sharpened all three of my razors far more sharp than i have ever gotten them before using green rouge on a canvas strop even my near wedge i mean no tugging or pulling the hair just pops off with no pressure but the weight of the blades. i know that honing is important. but forwhatever reason this worked. i tried the first razor and ive never gotten this close or smooth of a shave from any other system. even better than a de blade!!!! and my near edge wasnt cutting at all before the canvas with green rouge? thoughts?
