Hi everyone,
I need some help with keeping my blade sharp. I really loved the course on sharpening and it has helped me a ton but after I stropped the blade it only stays sharp for a few strokes and afterwards it's super dull again.
Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
I'm using a Japanese leather knife like this one:
Thank you so much!

And as a follow on, I got this French Edger from George Barnsley, UK. That company called it a skirt shave and trying to get it sharp is a bitch. Again, what am I doing wrong? I‘ve got diamond files, which I haven’t used. I’ve only used the strop as above and a slim strip of leather to run through the gap. Suggestions welcome.
