Yours is an amazing story for a newbee. Most are not that successful their first time out of the box.
I, too, was quite successful on my first shave, (with a Feather). I have always been a good shaver; like you, it was just very natural for me. - but it really took me a while to "get-it" in regard to stropping once I switched to real straights. When good stropping techniques kicked in for me, my shaves improved 1000%.
Now, if you are this successful with honing, I will really be in awe. That is one art form that I, for one, will be learning for the rest of my life. I've become pretty good, but I will always have more to learn. One reason for that is that I keep raizing the bar for attaining the best edges and shaves that I can.
Best of luck to you, and again, congradulations!
Regards,
Steve
