My wife purchased a gift for me that included the following:

- Parker SRW Stainless Steel Straight Edge Barber Razor
- 100 Shark Super Stainless Straight Edge Barber Razor Half Blades
- Van Der Hagen Men's Luxury, Shave Set

I'm finding if I have stubble of 1/8 inch the razor pulls and hurts while shaving in a downward movement. I've adjusted my technique but nothing seems to fix this issue I'm having.

Any thoughts?
