    No, not at all. There were the first two or so shaves when I thought the edge changed (smoothed out or settled), but that might also just be getting used to the new edge. Nothing after that.

    I still expect to get a difference from the refresh, though. At least I hope so, or else the next HoneMeisterschaft will have to be a 2 month challenge🙂

    Your no strop project seems to show a bit of edge deterioration, if I read your SOTDs right.

    Ot made me think that I’d like to try a direct comparison using two razors with similar edges and steel and use them alternatingly, stropping one but not the other until a difference manifests. Might take a while, though.

      The edge has become more comfortable over time, and closeness has just started to diminish but it’s a very small change that I only notice hours after the shave. I think that Str8_Razor is having a similar experience. I’m thinking that this is wear resistance of the steel.
