I love alliteration so excuse the topic.

Back story: I bought an Azuma kamisori from eBay, did a 'bad job' of honing it with my 4k, watched gssixgun's videos and made it shave capable on 8k and as it stands I have just had my best kamisori shave after re-honing from scratch at 4k, through 8k and up to my Chinese stone.

My issue is that of my kamisori blade not moving across my skin smoothly. When placed flat across my cleaned, pre-shave'd and foamed skin the metal tends to stick and drag the skin which worries me very much considering I nicked myself twice in a very minor ways that I didn't notice until there was a touch of blood on the edge of my blade and I couldn't find anything on my face.

This marks my third kamisori shave and although I've noticed this before but thought it might have diminished with a bit of practice.

What is the issue? Technique needs work or adjusting? Something I can adjust with my pre-shave to eliminate/reduce this? Or combination of both?

Thanks
