So sharpen it. You used to be able to get a gadget that clipped onto
the bottom blade and the cylinder rotated against it bringing it up
nice. IIRC the bottom blade just needs to be straight and true as the
cutting action is like scissors.

A wander through your yellow pages and I'd expect to find a few places
offering a sharpening service if you don't want to attempt it.
