A coarse file for touch-up, abrasive 'steel', then a fine Arkansas stone.
I go with the grain on the file rather than against it, it makes micro-serrations in the blade that really make it cut better without affecting smoothness.
It's impossible to do the finger test on a blade of good carbon steel after I sharpen it, as it will draw blood.
What's the point of a dull knife?
I use an electric razor to shave, and think an edged weapon should stay away from my face/neck.
