Hi everybody!

I have been into the straight razoring now for a couple of weeks. And my shaves have gone from terrible to less terrible..

My problem seems to be the sharpness of the razor. When i do my first pass, there are typically quite a lot of hair left, it also drags on my face and isn't all that comfortable.

I use a Norton 4000/8000 grit stone. As I just got my hands on Lynn's DVD, I now know I have been using to much pressure when honing. But still my edge isn't keen, even after trying Lynn's pyramid honing. I don't have any finer stones or diamond paste..

The strop I'm using was something i got off ebay, not the best i presume. But atleast genuine leather.

The razor is supposed to be a NOS, I suspect it's a OS. It spells SOLINGEN on the shaft, and 41 Albert Dörner Haan-Solingen on one side of the blade. On the other it spells Made From Kayser Ellison&co's Best Sheffield Silver Steel.
The blade is quite small, I think 4/8.

Anybody got an idea of what to do?

Thanks,
Thomas
