You're right of course. I should have said: shave hairs effortlessly off your arm with no pressure at all. OTOH the shave test will eventually decide if it really is sharp enough.

If despite a good arm hair test and a +/- 30 degree angle you still cannot shave comfortably you'll have to have the blade checked by a honemeister to see whether there's a problem with the razor.
