Hello all. I'm fairly new to the forum but I've been shaving for a couple months now. I have been using the "black ops grooming Black AF" straight razor with a cheap shaving kit that came with a brush, brush stand, shaving soap, etc. and have been stropping on a cheap $25 strip I found.

I recently went through TSA and had to mail out my razor and I haven't used it for a few weeks. In the meantime I've used a cheap dime a dozen 2 blade razor in its place.

Well my good razor came back today and I got it stropped up and ready to go as I did my normal routine; but for some reason I got a ton of drag and pain. It felt like it was pulling the hair then cutting rather than going straight through. What are some causes of this
