Okay, I have been shaving with two razors I had professionally honed. I stretch my skin and have tried using different angles, but I'm still not getting as smooth a shave as with my DE. I strop before ever shave.

Both are W&B's. A 8/8 Wedge and a 5/8 hollow ground. When I shave with my DE, I always have to go back and shave ATG to get the stubble. Otherwise, it feels smooth to the touch WTG and rough ATG. It feels pretty rough if I try use my straights ATG though and the results still doesn't feel as smooth as my DE shave.

The razors were honed and finished on a Belgian Coticule.

Suggestions?
Could honing on a finer stone possibly help or is it probably just a problem with technique?
I have a grey translucent, but I've been told here it should be burnished before using.

Thanks
