I recently purchased my first straight razor from a local consignment shop. I am hoping that someone could provide me with some information regarding this razor. I recently had it sharpened at a local knife sharpening shop that also sharpens razors. I tried stroping it but it still pulls quite a bit when I try to use it. I am wondering if this is because the razor is still dull or if its because I am a beginner. I appreciate any information that could be provided. The writing on the razor says worchester mass and ester razor co (although a letter may be scratched off in the beginning).
