I'm new to straight-razor shaving. I have two old straights: a small, nimble half-hollow & a wedge razor. They came perfectly honed, but I have since knocked off their edges by doing something wrong with my Arkansas stone.
I've tried on multiple occasions to get the edge back, but no matter how much time I spend, the razors are just downright unusable now.
My question: Can I keep trying to recover the edge on these razors with the Arkansas till I get it right, or do I need to do a rescue job with another hone and then return to the Arkansas to maintain that edge?
