Hi Guys,

Received my Straight yesterday night but I didn't shave with it until about an hour ago.

I was thinking that I should wait until I bought a strop (waiting to see what T. Miller is releasing!) but then got to thinking/assuming that if it was honed by Lynn it should've been stropped right? After thinking about for a nano second away we went!

Did the hot shower and towel thing, got the lather as good as I could get it (being my first time and all) but come time to shave instead of it just gliding all it did was pull and tug? Tried a few different cutting angles/pulling my skin taught but no matter, still had to fight with it.

So, am I wrong about it have being stropped or is something drastically amiss here?

And I might proudly add that I didn't even so much as *knock on wood* nick myself!

Been around sharp pointy things for most of my adult life so pretty secure around live blades and such...
