I'll admit I do have a hard, fast growing beard. This is my first brand new straight. I can not get this thing sharp. It was at least cutting the hair for the most part, but a lot of pulling. Last night I soaked my Norton in water and then did the pyramid. Whipped up my lather in the bowl, it didn't even give me a bad shave, it was like no shave.

Is there anyone in the Mid Tennessee area that I could pay to hone this thing for me so I wouldn't be without for so long due to postal service?
